We were delighted to welcome Shadow Secretary of State for Education Bridget Phillipson today to meet our students, colleagues and tour our City Campus.
Pleased to visit @NorthumbriaUni and discuss Labour’s mission to break down the barriers to opportunity. For too long, the Conservatives have treated universities as a political battleground. With Labour, our universities will be championed as engines of growth and opportunity.
