๐๐๐๐๐๐Where passion and identity is strong! What a brilliant speech to parliament to highlight our heritage and creative future. As a drama teacher in our city this means so much to me and our young people who want to carve a creative career for themselves ๐ญ๐ถ๐ฌ
"Where passion and identity is strong, there is music. And Sunderland is a Music City." Watch @LewisAtkinson's brilliant maiden speech in Parliament as he talks about the innovation that is Sunderland's past, present and future.

The thugs last night are not Sunderland. Sunderland is the hundreds of people who have turned up this morning with brooms to sweep away the shards of hate.
The Sunderland I'm proud of , people coming together to sort the mess up and tidy. The new local MP speaking very well

So much to applaud in this! Empowering our young people regardless of background, engaging staff in schools in a conversation about change and on a personal note, hearing the glorious North East accent within our own government๐๐๐๐๐
Our work at @educationgovuk is already underway. Weโre resetting the relationship between the government and those working in education. Together, weโll deliver change: the best start in life for every child, high & rising standards and a country where background is no barrier.

Yes @Scriptylife! Sing it from the rooftops! Nearly 20 years since you were in my classroom and you remain one of the most creative and fiercely ambitious young people I have ever met! You should be so incredibly proud of yourself. A credit to Sunderland ๐๐๐๐๐

Sat in floods of tears watching this earlier. From the vivid memory of Kes at school, the pride in her hometown to wanting more than govt statistics allow you. What an absolute inspiration to the industry, and all young people with a seemingly impossible ambition๐๐๐
