I would like to invite my Ryhope constituents to a Community Coffee Morning at Ryhope Community Centre on March 25, from 10.30am-12noon, to discuss Brexit and immigration.

Our country voted to leave the EU and Article 50 will be triggered this month. I now need your help to make sure Sunderland gets the best possible deal from the Brexit negotiations.

I’d like to hear your views on both Brexit and immigration, and promise to make sure our voice is heard loud and clear in Westminster. Whatever deal we get, it must work for our city.
