Richard also spoke about his campaign for a new hospital to replace Shotley Bridge Hospital – read about this here. These campaigns are part of the six election pledges that Richard made to North West Durham, which you can see here. Richard also spoke about the Government’s plan to level up the North East, delivering Brexit and what the people voted for, and Labour’s new leadership under Sir Keir Starmer.
Richard was on the show immediately after Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, but was slightly late as the radio station were calling the incorrect number. Richard received an apology for the mix up.
