Andy, my offer still stands. Let’s have a debate for the benefit of the people of Middlesbrough & Thornaby East.

This is the quality of the Labour candidate - the man who has been our MP for the last 12 years. I’m sure you’ll agree that we can’t afford to have him win another 5 years.

I’m disappointed to learn about Thornaby FC's decision to remove the entire female section from the club. This decision is a significant blow to our community and the progress we have made towards gender equality in sports.

It is only right that the people of M’Boro and Thornaby East are able to hear from both of us about our respective plans. Let’s organise a hustings - when are you free? There’s huge frustration with your performance as our MP. Take this chance to set the record straight.

👏 I’d also like to thank Kemi for backing my campaign for Middlesbrough and Thornaby East. Labour have taken this area for granted for too long; now is the time for change.

🤝 Thrilled to have met Secretary of State for Business and Trade, Kemi Badenoch, alongside Simon Clarke, after her visit to British Steel today. 💬 It was great to chat with Kemi and Simon about their tireless efforts supporting Teesside businesses and the local economy.

#VEDay: Today, we reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom. As we commemorate the anniversary of VE Day, let's remember the courage of the Greatest Generation and the price paid for our liberty. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Photo: VE Day celebrations in Middlesbrough

Massive congratulations to @BenHouchen! Let’s continue to build on the incredible progress we have been making across Teesside throughout the last 7 years! #BenBacked

Happy St George’s Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

At the Riverside tonight for the Boro vs Leeds game! As a Boro fan who's been through thick and thin like all of us, from multiple season tickets to walking out the tunnel with Gareth Southgate as a young lad, these nights are what being a Boro fan is all about. #UTFB!

Really good discussion before the Boro game today. The only way that we can move forward is through constructive dialogue. @raycasey2003, thanks for being gentleman on this front. We both want what’s best for Middlesbrough and Teesside. Look forward to speaking again soon.

Delighted to be in Cleveland yesterday to support Steve Turner's campaign to be re-elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland and Ben Houchen’s campaign to be re-elected Mayor of the Tees Valley. Great to meet @Conservatives Parliamentary candidate for Middlesbrough

✅Conclusion. Conservatives deliver. Labour full of hot air. Levelling up is real. We’ve proved it here on Teesside.

🥀 As usual, it’s empty promises and climate vanity projects… for which the taxpayer always has to foot the bill. 🥀 Mayoral candidate wanted to pave over the airport and turn it into housing.

FICTION. 🥀 Labour’s plucking numbers from thin air; 35,00 jobs… How? When? Over what period? Where? No vision, no plan and absolutely no detail.

✅ Brought steelmaking back to Teesside. ✅ Saved the airport. ✅ “Teesside Investment Zone” which is set to create 2,000 jobs and unlock £175m of investment in the next decade whilst supercharging digital and creative sector.

✅ Net Zero Teesside project: the UK’s first carbon capture utilisation and storage facility.

✅ Working with international players such as BP, Shell and Equinor to harness the power of private capital to create jobs and value for the taxpayer; we can expect a £450m annual dividend for Teesside.

FACT. Conservative record under leadership of Ben Houchen: ✅ Largest freeport in the UK, right here on Teesside - £200m investment set to create 18,000 jobs.
