• 19 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  To preserve the rich history of Hexham and Northumberland we need to protect our heritage. This month, Historic England released its heritage at risk register that outlines historic sites in England at risk of decay and damage threatening their survival. The register revealed that 262 of the 4,891 entries at risk are in the north-east. My constituency has a concerning number of sites under threat. They include the Corbridge Roman site, multiple sections of Hadrian’s wall, the church of St Cuthbert in Haydon Bridge and the Kershope castle at Kielder. Vindolanda is further threatened by the possible risk of climate change. Those Roman ruins are preserved in waterlogged environments, but climate change could affect the chemical make-up of the soil and damage artefacts currently preserved in the ground.

  The work of Historic England and that of organisations such as the Vindolanda Trust to preserve our history is commendable. Improving infrastructure, investing in the preservation of those historic buildings and places, and restricting climate change, in collaboration with local and national organisations, will boost the regional economy, generate more job opportunities and preserve Northumberland’s rich history. I am sure the Minister will agree that England is a country with a rich historical tapestry, as is the UK, but we cannot overlook Northumberland’s contribution. Through preservation and protection of central heritage sites, we can lead the way for domestic and international tourism to flourish.

  Great to join @bphillipsonMP at @CorbridgeMiddle today to see the work being done to put climate change at the heart of the learning experience. As the first ever Labour MP for Hexham, I'll champion a broader, richer and future facing curriculum. https://twitter.com/Joe_Morris91/status/1788984227599442111/photo/1 [Source]

  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/04/roman-forts-hadrians-wall-history-climate-crisis-artefacts This is a deeply concerning read. We urgently need a Government focused on tackling the climate crisis. Hadrian's Wall is a symbol of Northumberland, and after the loss of our iconic Sycamore Gap tree, we need to protect the history we have yet to uncover [Source]

  This is fantastic news - it will help us meet our net zero targets and help to stimulate UK manufacturing at the same time. As Hexham's first Labour MP, I'll always put Net Zero at the heart of everything I do. https://twitter.com/Petercampbell1/status/1711262239959756946 [Source]

  East to be at the heart of innovation in the UK - providing good, green jobs and apprenticeships for our young people - & we need the infrastructure to support this. That is why getting to grips with the challenges the climate crisis creates runs throughout my 5⃣ pledges. https://twitter.com/Joe_Morris91/status/1709274246105399675/photo/1 [Source]

  Across Hexham and Northumberland, people have looked on in horror at the litany of commitments to our environment and countryside the Tories have torn up over the course of their conference. Fighting the climate crisis isn't just essential - but an opportunity for the North 1/2 https://twitter.com/Joe_Morris91/status/1709274243542782198/photo/1 [Source]

  @andybalman Hi Andy, apologies I missed. I worked for the steel sector previously- working with trade unions and steelmakers to achieve a fair and just transition to net zero. I'm delighted to have been endorsed by @serauk - our environmental affiliate - in this selection. [Source]

  Absolutely Kim - we need to work together to massively improve public transport across the North East - to help us reach Net Zero and to open up employment and educational opportunities across the region. https://twitter.com/KiMcGuinness/status/1707020049490297047 [Source]

  Devastating decision - so close to Marine Protected Areas. This kind of short term thinking from government is completely at odds with reaching Net Zero and decarbonising our economy. As Hexham's first Labour MP, net zero will run through every vote I cast. https://twitter.com/ChrisGPackham/status/1706929559340282256 [Source]

We are in a climate crisis and the Tories are asleep at the wheel. We need a Labour Government that will put green jobs at the heart of our plan for the UK. The only way to achieve that in Hexham is defeating Guy Opperman [Source]

  Clear from this that thirteen years of Conservative neglect has damaged our climate ambitions - far from having had enough of experts, we need climate and decarbonisation expertise more than ever https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/15/shortage-of-experts-and-low-pay-major-barriers-to-uks-net-zero-future?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other [Source]

  It's absolutely bizarre to have the Cabinet member responsible for the steel sector fail to grasp how important the steel sector is for our national security, our journey to net zero and to the communities that have worked in that industry for generations https://twitter.com/EdConwaySky/status/1623379428154679314 [Source]

  We can't afford to have another boost to jobs and investment in the North East collapse again. We need more than one of these factories to achieve net zero. We need eight. Clearly, business doesn't trust the Tories to deliver this - only a visionary Labour government can. https://twitter.com/Joe_Morris91/status/1622883716484694020/photo/1 https://twitter.com/hexhamcourant/status/1622618621603205121 [Source]

  This would be devastating to Northumberland and the North East's wider economy. Tory promises on levelling up and net zero are going up in smoke. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/oct/31/uk-battery-firm-britishvolt-administration-gigafactory?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other [Source]

Chaos in Govt should not cost these vital industries the support and investment they need. We can be the world's first net zero steel sector [Source]
