I see the chainsaw Reform type President in Argentina is doing well. It’s funny how it’s always wild west free market gamblers crash economies in rapid time. It would be a disaster with someone like Farage at the wheel. He hasn’t even got a chainsaw.

The fact that Teesside is losing projects as investors have no faith in the TVCA, Ben Houchen and his developer friends is other people’s fault. Surprising…

An important thread on British Steel and the coal/coke debate. This is why, when you send experienced and knowledgeable experts to Parliament, they really show up the charlatans. #britishsteel #steel #LabourSavesSteel
Why the West Cumbria Coal Mine Wouldn’t Have Saved British Steel. As Parliament is recalled to legislate for the future of British Steel, some are once again pointing to the proposed West Cumbria coal mine as a missed opportunity. 🧵

Twisting and turning more than a twisty turny thing. He did nothing when British Steel closed on Teesside. His idea that Labour has blocked Steel investment on Teesside is also completely wrong. https://t.co/KQ7onEFAvN

Totally agree Bob. Time and place for Gov intervention. It was then and it is now.
If only we’d had this response in 2015. The Conservatives couldn’t wait to mothball the Teesside site. I recall a two to three week opportunity for expressions of interest from prospective buyers. Blink and you missed it. @TomBlenkinsop @annaturley

When do we recognise the longevity of a Boro stalwart and give Flares a testimonial? 28 years and still going! @MbroCouncil @AndyMcDonaldMP @Boro

I see another of Farage’s mates is denigrating the sacrifice made by my grandparents in freeing Europe from Fascists and Nazis. The man is everything I said he was. Shame on him and his followers.

civilian contractors alike were glad of their allies and all operated together with great respect. I worked with good people and had an admiration for the values and dedication that were common. I wonder where that America is now and where my friends are. Sic semper tyrannis.

I worked with US forces for three years in Iraq. They worked closely with many countries in the coalition of the willing to depose a dictator. I was part of the team at the UK handover of Basra - the last flight out went to Teesside airport! The American service members and /1

Can you imagine how quickly Donald Trump and Elon Musk would abandon their country for Switzerland or Argentina if tanks came rolling across the border… Must be galling to see a popular ‘comedian’ leading their country the way Zelensky is.

Our free specialist advice service helps families across England to work with children's services. Families get critical support, children safely avoid the care system and savings are made for the Exchequer. Thanks @ChrisMcDonaldMP for highlighting our impact in Parliament.

 Calling for Responsibility in Political Discourse Today, I’ve written to Matt Vickers MP to raise serious concerns about his recent social media activity and its real-world consequences for local councillors in Stockton.

There are an awful lot of Conservative MPs joining UK based far right extremists in travelling to the US today - ahead of a future trade war which will likely damage our economy quite badly. Aren’t they being paid by the tax payer to, you know, turn up to work today?

A good example of the challenge faced by any non-right party. The press are holding progress and positive change hostage.
Remember all these headlines describing a brief rise in government borrowing costs as "market mayhem", followed by a week of demands for Rachel Reeves to quit? Well one week later and it turns out UK gilts are now outperforming every other G7 country this year, aside from the US

Finally…Bobbies back on the street on Teesside.
At the election, I promised to deliver more bobbies on the beat across Stockton North. This new funding is a crucial step in fulfilling that pledge. More police officers mean that safer streets and more peaceful town centres will now become a reality.
