Loneliness is a serious issue that damages so many people's emotional and physical health. Yesterday, I spoke at the launch of the Government's new strategy to help combat it.
This was a hugely important issue for the late Jo Cox and I paid tribute to her work on this issue, as well as to the Redcar and Cleveland based charity Men's Shed Redcar.
