Early Day Motions This Month I Sponsored An Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Early Day Motions This month I sponsored an Early Day Motion that City of Durham MP Mary Kelly Foy wrote condemning the racism aimed at the England men’s football team after the UEFA European Championship Final on 11 July 2021. You can read the motion in full here. I also sponsored an EDM that celebrated the 150-year anniversary of the Durham Miners Gala and recognised the important historical significance of the Big Meeting. You can read the motion in full here. I signed an EDM calling for the Government to offer NHS staff a proper pay rise of 15%. Our NHS workers deserve a proper pay rise after enduring a real term pay cuts of up to 30 per cent since 2010. You can read this motion in full here. Westminster Hall Debate | Peace and Human Rights in Colombia I was very pleased to be able to lead a debate in Parliament on ‘Peace and Human Rights in Colombia.’ I have been fortunate enough to visit this country in the past, and as an internationalist, I am extremely concerned about the human rights abuses and police brutality that is being carried out there. You can watch my opening comments of the debate here. If you want to watch the debate in full you can do so by visiting Parliament TV here. I also wrote an article for Labour Outlook this month in which I called upon the Government to offer full condemnation of the violence of the Colombian police and Colombian government comments undermining the right to protest. Read this article in full here Health and Care Bill I was proud to sign Zarah Sultana MPs amendment to protect the NHS from the Tory-led Corporate Takeover Bill. Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 MacMillan Cancer Support The Government is more focussed on its top-down reorganisation of the NHS than it is on tackling the growing backlog of Cancer treatments. I spoke in Parliament this month about this huge backlog as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This government and the Health Secretary must ensure that the NHS is able to tackle this backlog of cancer diagnosis, care, and treatment by the current March 2022 deadline. Listen to my question to the Health Secretary here. Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Shields Gazette Columns Thank you, Teachers! For my columns in the Shields Gazette this month, I paid tribute to the teachers in south Tyneside who have worked tirelessly this past year to ensure that our children have been given the best possible education despite the challenges of Covid-19. I paid special tribute to Mr Martin Humble, the Headteacher from St Marys RC primary school who retired this month after a remarkable 20 years’ service in South Tyneside. You can read this column in full here. I had the opportunity to visit Mr Humble to see the amazing outdoor learning centre that has been built in his honour. To further congratulate Mr Humble, I presented him with an Early Day Motion which was supported by several MPs, including Jeremy Corbyn and Ian Mearns. I know it was such an emotional day for everyone connected with the school and it was such a pleasure to be part of Mr Humble’s special day. WASPI My second column for the Shields Gazette this month was on the recent update for the WASPI campaign. I very much welcome the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s investigation into this important issue which has understandably had a devastating impact on thousands of women, many of whom have experienced significant financial loss and emotional distress. You can read this column in full here. Save South Tyneside Hospital Campaign The Save South Tyneside Hospital Campaign group held a protest outside the hospital this month, in response to further downgrades to our services. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend in person so I sent a statement of support which you can read below. These changes come because of years of Tory cuts to our vital NHS services. I will continue to defend our NHS and our services. Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Stand Up to Racism – North East I couldn’t be at the Stand Up to Racism - North East demo this month but I sent some words of solidarity to the GRT community to be read out. You can read the statement I sent below. Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Nationality and Boarders Bill The Tory government passed the Nationality and Boarders Bill this month. The Nationality and Borders Bill disproportionately affects vulnerable women and criminalises them. I voted against this Bill as it creates a hostile environment for those it targets. Listen to my statement in the Commons here. BBC Politics North I was asked this month to be interviewed on BBC Politics North, this gave me the opportunity to discuss some key issues that are affecting ours and wider communities in the North. I discussed the governments easing of Covid-19 restrictions, and I continue to urge all Jarrow Constituents to remain cautious as we continue to navigate our way back to normal. Watch my contribution to this section here. We moved the discussion towards the Government’s ‘Levelling up’ scheme. The Government needs to secure good, well-paid, unionised jobs to support our high streets & strengthen our communities through proper investment if they truly want to deliver for the people of our region. Watch my contribution to this section here. Finally, the discussion turned to the Cladding Scandal that emerged after the tragedy of the Grenfell fire. It is alarming that 4 years after this tragedy, there are still 700k people living in high-rise blocks with flammable cladding. This Governments slow response and failure to remove this dangerous cladding is a disgrace. Watch my contribution to this section here. If you would like to watch the entire show, you can do so by clicking here. Cancel the Cut Cutting the £20 uplift to universal credit, just as furlough is about to end will have devastating consequences for many families. £20 per week is the difference between choosing to heat your home or have a meal. The Unite Community’s Campaign to #Cancelthecut has my full support. Find out more about Unite’s Campaign here. https://www.unitetheunion.org/campaigns/cancel-the-cut/ You can see my full statement, backing this campaign here. Everyone deserves to live with dignity. NEU - No Child Left Behind I believe that no child should live with food insecurity. That is why I was proud to support and sign the NEU’s letter to the Prime Minister urging the Government to reintroduce the scheme Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 implemented in previous holidays in which families were allocated £15 every week to cover the entirety of the six-week school holiday. Read the letter in full below. Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Stonewall meeting It was fantastic to meet with Nancy Kelley, CEO of Stonewall, this month to discuss my work on the Women and Equalities Select Committee and Stonewall’s new Free to Be strategy and campaigns. I am looking forward to working closely with Nancy and Stonewall in the future. Education Select Committee I am really pleased to now be a member of the Education Select Committee. I am looking forward to working with the committee to ensure that this Government acts in the best interests of our schools, colleges, and universities so our children can be given the best education possible. Cuba Blockade Along with other members of the Socialist Campaign Group, I signed this statement urging President Biden to make good on his campaign promises and immediately suspend the US sanctions to allow Cuban people themselves to overcome the current difficulties. Read the statement in full below. Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Hebburn Carr Ellison Carnival With the summer recess underway, I have been extremely grateful to get out around the constituency more. I had the chance to go along to the Hebburn Carr Ellison Carnival and it was great opportunity to relax and enjoy being surrounded by our community. I am looking forward to more evenings like this over the summer. Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 National Lotto Funding – Boldon Community Centre Some more great constituency news that I want to share; Boldon Community Centre has been allocated funding by the National Lottery Fund which will be used to purchase facilities to help deliver a club for younger people, with access to food and a weekly mental health wellbeing social for older people. Meeting with the Mayor I was pleased to finally be able to visit the Mayor of South Tyneside Councillor Pat Hay at the Town Hall this month. It was great to see Pat’s tremendous passion and enthusiasm for the Borough and I am looking forward to working with her during her term in office! Kate Osborne MP Jarrow Constituency July-August Newsletter 2021 Fellgate, Hedworth and Calf Close By-Election I would like to take this opportunity to further congratulate Councillor Jay Pots on his election in Fellgate, Hedworth and Calf Close ward.

    The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Department of Health and Social Care Ministerial Correspondence and Public Enquiries Unit 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 13 March 2020 Dear Secretary of State, Coronavirus and the social care workforce We are writing as cross-party Parliamentarians concerned about the urgent need to provide support to the social care sector in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The social care sector plays a crucial role in supporting hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people in high-risk groups for Covid-19. There is a need to ensure both that there are strong protocols in place to keep vulnerable residents safe, and also to ensure continuity of care in the event that a significant proportion of the social care workforce has to take time off during the pandemic. We welcome the Chancellor’s commitment to provide local government with immediate financial support to protect adult social care services dealing with Covid-19 outbreaks, and the commitment that workers who self-isolate will be eligible for statutory sick pay from day one. We also welcome the guidance from NHS England advising NHS Trusts to: ‘Ensure that any member of staff, including bank staff and sub-contractors, who has to be physically present at an NHS facility to carry out their duties, receives full pay for any period in which they are required to self- isolate as a result of public health advice’. However, we are concerned that these actions will not protect the quarter of the social care workforce who are currently employed on zero-hours contracts, and that the drop in income which will result from receiving SSP may act as a disincentive to some social care workers to self- isolate, putting vulnerable people at risk.

    Sarah Owen MP Member of Parliament for Luton North Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Department for Health and Social Care 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 9th April 2020 Dear Matt Debt of student nurses working to tackle the outbreak of covid-19 Over the last few weeks, we have seen the whole country united in our gratitude to those working night and day to keep our NHS going and look after our loved ones at this difficult time. If this coronavirus pandemic has proved anything, it is just how much we owe to those in the health service who are there for us when we need them most. Health Education England has announced that in response to the crisis 5,553 students from 35 universities had signed up to a paid placement as of Friday, rearranging their studies to respond to your own call for them to join the NHS frontline early. This is a testament to the hard work and sense of duty that those who work in our NHS feel, especially during these unprecedented times. We value the contribution of these nurses and, as MPs, will always stand with them. They are making a vital contribution in our national effort to beat the coronavirus. We ask you and your department to commit to doing all it can to support these nurses who will be facing the start of a new career like no one in our health service has before. Therefore, we are calling on the government to support these new nurses by cancelling the student debt they have incurred throughout their studies.

    Rt Hon Dominic Raab MP Secretary of State for Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs Foreign & Commonwealth Office King Charles Street London SW1A 2AH 2 April 2020 Dear Dominic Urgent repatriation of British nationals from India We are writing as the MPs for many of those affected to urge you to rapidly develop a comprehensive plan for the repatriation of British nationals who are unable to return from India because of the Covid-19 outbreak. We are very concerned that our constituents are currently unable to return to the UK, and in particular that a significant number are reporting that they are running low on money to pay for accommodation or medications for pre-existing health conditions. With scheduled international commercial services from India completely suspended until at least April 14th and potentially longer, it is vital for the Government to charter enough special flights and make the necessary arrangements with the Indian authorities to ensure all British nationals can book a place on a flight and successfully board it. We therefore urge you to: • Work with airlines and the Indian authorities to establish enough special charter flights from India to the UK for all British nationals; • Ensure these flights originate from a range of places across the country, particularly given the limits on internal travel within India; and • Agree with the relevant authorities a comprehensive plan to ensure British nationals can travel to the relevant airport to board a flight. We have heard reports that some flights have begun to be organised, and so we are keen to make sure that they are the beginning of a full and comprehensive plan to help all British nationals who need to return home.

    Ms Elay Ershad MP 18 August 2021 Dear Elay, Re: Westminster women MPs pledge support for Afghan women MPs You inspired us when, as a woman MP from Afghanistan, you joined us in the Chamber of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament in 2018 and spoke of your hopes of freedom and security for the people you represented. We are dismayed at the situation that now faces you and in particular women in Afghanistan and send you our admiration for your commitment to democracy, to women’s rights and above all for your remarkable courage as a woman politician in staying in Kabul, resolute in the face of the Taliban takeover. As women MPs in the UK Parliament we want you to know that we are looking out for you and we stand in solidarity with you and with all women politicians in Afghanistan who have stepped forward to be in public life and who, in particular, speak out for women and bring the representation of women into politics.

That is reflected in the nature of the protocol that is agreed as part of the withdrawal agreement and legislated for through the Wednesday 5 February 2020 European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2020. But of course the end result will depend on the free trade agreement negotiated between the UK and the EU, and it is too The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock early at this stage to speculate on the details of that. Northern Ireland does enjoy special protections in this PRAYERS process as a result of the protocol. Tony Lloyd (Rochdale) (Lab): The Minister was very careful not to answer my hon.

The First Minister is clear that there will be. The EU negotiator, Michel Barnier, is clear that Oral Answers to Questions there will be.
