Stanley Town Councillor | Councilor for Craghead & South Stanley | Labour Town Councillor
Joined October 2012
Say what you want about Labour, but this government is actually doing the work. Starmer’s focus on stability, trade, and rebuilding relationships abroad is exactly what the UK’s needed after years of chaos. I’ve got a lot of respect for a team that’s serious about governing, not

Reform keep claiming huge savings and not just in Durham but the council’s real numbers say otherwise. So I pulled together their claims, figures, and what the MTFP actually shows. https://t.co/dro1WT0xe6

This is seismic. When the Telegraph - the house paper of Brexit - publishes a 2,000-word obituary admitting: 📉 Brexit has cut UK GDP by up to 8% 📉 Investment down 18% 📉 Productivity down 4% 📉 Employment down 4% 📉 No trade benefits 📉 No regulatory freedom 📉 No immigration

The racism @Nus_Ghani has been subjected to has been an absolute disgrace
Deputy Speaker @Nus_Ghani has stood up for her community’s interests for a decade, defended Parliament’s interests from the Speaker’s chair for 18 months and been sanctioned by China and Russia for defending our country’s interests from dictators. She’s been voted in four times

Today I received my follow-up cancer scan without being asked to pay a penny. An NHS free at the point of use - revolutionary in 1948 and essential today. Owned by us for all of us. I’ll always defend it. (And thanks @RoyalFreeNHS!)

This is the video Nigel Farage doesn't want you to see. In fact, I bet he'd pay millions to have this video erased from the Internet's memory, if only such a possibility existed. This isn't a blunder or a mis-step. It's a statement of faith - a declaration of Nigel Farage's core

Whether you like it or not, she handled it gracefully and put all her haters to shame. She embodies everything that makes one a proud British politician. As she outshines them so brilliantly, her gracious demeanor has shown the haters how ugly they look when they say ridiculous

A genuine question for @ReformDurham and @darrengrimes: You’ve spent months shouting from the sidelines about “waste,” “savings,” and “fixing Durham.” You claim to have saved us tens of millions, £73m here, £125m there depending on which interview you’re giving. So maybe you

Alarms are going off in Reform UK HQ. First their leader is embroiled in a racism row. Secondly their member growth has stalled. Thirdly they’ve polled lowest since April. Now this.
NEW: Net migration falls sharply to 204,000 in the year to June. That’s a fall from 649,000 in the year to June 2024. It is a drop of nearly 80% from its 2023 peak.

A deliciously Pooterish comment: @GBNEWS is obviously not a news outlet in any recognisable sense. It’s a crude propaganda outlet catering to, and in notorious cases presented by, cranks & conspiracy theorists. It merits no respect and no public figure is obliged to speak to it.
'We are Britain's biggest news channel since July, we deserve respect from this government! It is a gross insult to GB News viewers.' Political Editor @ChristopherHope says he is 'furious' at Rachel Reeves as she ignores questions from GB News following her Autumn Budget.

Want to see something hilarious? @LeeAndersonMP_ calling GBNews impartial with his GBNews affiliate badge all over his Twitter. Literally paying him to say it.
Shocking Stuff. @GBNEWS is the only truly impartial media outlet in the UK yet the Chancellor refuses to engage
