Hi🦀#BenHouchen🦀fans

So, the #TeessideFreeport corruption report was published on Monday.

I've written a piece in @NEBylines about how #BentBen and #BrexitSlug Michael Gove have tried to spin it.

Comments welcome! 🙂

Hi everyone. 🦀 #BenHouchen 🦀 and his joint venture cronies have set up a private electricity network in Teesside.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Hi🦀 #BenHouchen 🦀 fans

Redcar should be the showpiece of Ben Houchen's claimed successes.

The home of #TeessideFreeport, Teesworks and the STDC.

But the successes are illusory.

Poverty runs deep, and school exclusion rates are another example of the damage done

Hi everyone

I took a free tour of #Teesworks yesterday.

I've written about it for @NEBylines

It's a mixed review of the overall project, obvs, but I'd recommend the tour for anyone thinking of taking it
