Hi Jamie Oliver.

In the election for the first North East Mayor I’ve set the highest bar of any candidate on child poverty. I’ll measure our success in the number of children lifted out of poverty.

It’s ambitious, but we can’t simply help people to live better with poverty we…

No words…..

Whilst Jamie Driscoll claims not to have claimed expenses or put up the council tax he vastly overspent his staffing budget #BBCNEMAYOR

Jamie Driscoll caught out making misleading claims on jobs, housing and the Northumberland line #BBCNEMayor

Jamie Driscoll claims he has never claimed expenses. Can he confirm this is misleading as he gets a generous salary? #BBCNEMayor

Tonight’s meeting of NTC Tories submitted neither an alternative budget or a critique.
In contrast the Labour Cabinet have outlined a strategy to make our area better.

14 years of Tory Government have been brutal for councils and communities across the country.
Just when things couldn’t look any more bleak, North Tyneside Tories think it is time to lie down and give up fighting cuts.

Millions to resurface London’s roads? A Network North project?

It’s like a bad Christmas cracker joke.

The punch line-Tories celebrating widening the North/South divide.

If you believe any of these promises you’ll believe anything. NPR promised 60 times. A1 duelling, Moor farm and Seaton Burn roundabouts upgrades promised but never delivered. Leamside line not delivered. Refusing to invest in the metro time and time again. The list is endless.

I can’t believe that you’ve swallowed these lies Jamie. It’s a speech from a Conservative PM. Hot on the heels of breaking promises on net zero.

I think it’s time that the lettuce made a speech too!

Good to be out on #labourdoorstep between Cullercoats and Tynemouth this morning with the team, talking about Labour’s 5 missions for government.

This isn’t satire. She really believes this!

You can tell how desperate the Tories have become!

First it was the EU. Now it’s the civil service. The Right who’ve destroyed the UK are running out of scapegoats.

Can someone explain who or what ‘the Blob’ is? #BorisJohnson

Hopefully somebody from a different party can ‘take the reins’

What an entitled self server!

Because nothing says ‘I’m innocent’ like suing your own inquiry to avoid sharing unredacted diary entries…
