Some *free* weekend reading: @PrivateEyeNews special report on the Teesside regeneration scandal - the history, the deceptions and the transfer of hundreds of millions of pounds from the taxpayer to two businessmen - one now in Dubai - and their families and friends.
Brilliant takedown here. Farage, like Trump, is the profoundest hypocrite. These people don’t care about free speech: all they want is to drown out and silence their opponents.
Latest mega-deal for businessmen on Teesside - the airport business park that they were said to be investing in but is now funded entirely by taxpayer - while they get 50% ownership. Full story in @PrivateEyeNews.
@mozz83@utb_smith I agree Chris Mc has failed to inspire confidence in the mayoral campaign. However the Tory-led council in Darlington created a financial black hole that the new council now have to backfill.
@campbellclaret@chrismcewan11 I have a feeling it is not so. Chris is relying almost solely on Ben’s / the tories misgivings, rather than bringing forward his own tangible plans that people can get behind.
Good afternoon everyone!
We're going to play a game, and it's called "Cunk or Coffey" - I'm going to give you all a quote and you've got to vote on whether it's by Cunk or Therese Coffey.
Let's begin!
