This Govt chart shows our economy failing compared to competitors.

Tories want to blame Covid & Ukraine for their miserable incompetence & failures over 12yrs.

Well - ALL these countries have been impacted by Covid and Ukraine. So why are they leaving us behind?

You have the choice on Thursday 4 July to vote for change.

Together, we can stop the chaos, turn the page, and rebuild our country.

Vote Labour – and let’s get our future back.

100% this - well said @SamJRushworth

Up until COVID hit, the Tory fiscal record was abysmal.

The highest tax burden in decades and one of the highest peace time levels of debt.

And let’s not forget what they dod to millions of mortgages 🤬

It’s time for a change.

[Sam Rushworth MP @SamJRushworth]

If anyone's interested in the facts, when Labour came to power in 97, UK national debt was 38.2% of GDP. After ten years of improving living standards and public services, it fell to 34.7%.

By Dec 2019, before Covid, the Tories increased it to 84.8%. It is now 98.3%

“Houchen has given away hundreds of millions with no explanation" - Steve Gibson, owner of Middlesbrough Football Club.

My first action as Tees Valley Mayor would be to open up the office of Mayor to proper scrutiny, open the books on Teesworks and rebuild the trust that has broken down in recent years.

This Thursday, Vote Labour for a Mayor you can trust.🌹

Starmer leads Sunak by 14%.

Sunak's % only 1 point above his lowest ever.

At this moment, which of the following do Britons think would be the better Prime Minister for the UK? (28 April)

Keir Starmer 42% (+1)
Rishi Sunak 28% (–)

Changes +/- 21 April

I said to the Mirror this week that in North East language, people are brassed off. They're sick of the Tories. Things are just getting tougher. I'm hearing time and time again that local working people don't feel like they're benefiting from all the Government’s announcements.

Only a Labour Mayor and a Labour government can change that. Vote Chris Mcewan for Tees Valley Mayor on May 2nd.

🌹❤️So proud of our town today. Got to show the big bosses @Keir_Starmer & @RachelReevesMP some fantastic businesses and so many sound people were stopping them in the street to shake their hands and wish us luck. 🍀 It's time for a change!

[Sam Rushworth MP @SamJRushworth]

We're in Barnard Castle (outside the Coop) with @KiMcGuinness, Labour candidate for NE Mayor.

Really positive conversations asking public which of Kim's policies they favour.

Kim will be here until just after 12 if you want to come and meet her, then we're heading on to Bishop.

[Chris McEwan @chrismcewan11]

After 14 years of a Tory government and 7 years of a Tory mayor, people have quite frankly had enough. To send the government a message, vote Chris McEwan on May 2nd ☑️

[Kim McGuinness @KiMcGuinness]

Hi from lovely Barnard Castle👋🏼

5 days til we elect our North East Mayor and people here tell me they want a Mayor who’ll give our whole region a voice.

Great support for my plans for housing, high streets and to bring our buses under public control.

Vote @UKLabour. 2nd May🌹

[Kim McGuinness @KiMcGuinness]

Building things is part of our North East identity. Workers at @HitachiRailENG are proud to build trains in Newton Aycliffe.

Thanks @Keir_Starmer & @LouHaigh for coming to meet them & talk about our rail plans & the difference a @UKLabour Mayor & a Labour Government will make.

[Labour_North_East 🌹 @NE_Labour]

Wow!

[Nick Gullon @EchoNickG]

Extraordinary development in the Tees Valley mayoral election race tonight

Boro chairman Steve Gibson has come out and endorsed Labour's @chrismcewan11 and launched a scathing attack on Ben Houchen and Teesworks

[henrimurison.bsky.social @henrimurison]

For anyone following electoral race or policy on #Teesside this is huge development

Steve previously was involved in STDC in its initial phase, negotiated to get steelworks back from the Thai banks & so his view on the sitting Mayor is not from a long-standing critic or sceptic

[Kim McGuinness @KiMcGuinness]

This region has always been a home for innovation and Merit in Cramlington are doing just that in manufacturing and construction. Thanks @RachelReevesMP for joining me and @efoody to see it in action.

As North East mayor I’ll work with businesses to create thousands more great, green jobs like those at Merit.

With a @UKLabour mayor and a Labour government we can do even more.

[Kim McGuinness @KiMcGuinness]

As North East Mayor I’ll bring buses under public control so they go where we need them, not just where profit takes them.

With @LouHaigh as transport secretary a @UKLabour govt we’ll do this quicker.

This is just the start. As mayor I’ll fix our broken public transport system.
