It was a pleasure to welcome the new General Secretary of the Labour Party, Jennie Formby, to Newcastle East. Jennie is going to play a key role in preparing the Labour Party for the next General Election and in organising the Party. While in Newcastle, Jennie met employees at Labour North, spoke to us about her new job and the challenges we face as a Party, and took part in a canvassing session with me in North Jesmond. I hope that everyone who attended enjoyed this rare opportunity to meet the Labour Party General Secretary in person.
