@KiMcGuinness @unitetheunion @gonortheast The services in Washington are shocking. I wanted to go into Newcastle recently and this is what I was faced with.

I'd given up by this point and abandoned my trip into Newcastle, but this was the shambolic state of the service @gonortheast provides to its customers. How are you supposed to rely on that? This is shameful and needs to be addressed urgently Cc: @SharonHodgsonMP @KiMcGuinness

On social care we need a triumph of hope over experience. Successive governments - Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, SNP… - have failed on social care. The Independent Commission on Social Care - led by Louise Casey - will help us build a National Care Service. https://t.co/kaJpX3Gb3o
