Effective political oversight in Teesside? Not so much

Tees Valley’s governance looked promising weeks ago, but recent AGC meetings exposed deep issues—poor oversight, delays, and conflicts

Someone (eg a journalist not blacklisted by him) should really push Ben Houchen on whether his invitation to bring Donald Trump to Teesside still stands.

He told Laura Kuenssberg he was happy to welcome anyone who brings investment to Teesside. I wonder if there's a line that's been crossed.

Hi 🦀Ben Houchen 🦀fans

Ever wondered what Ben's four Teesworks JV cronies are up to?

Well right now, three of them - Martin Corney, Ian Waller and Chris Harrison - have started trashing wildlife on the outskirts of Darlington.

Exactly a year ago, as part of his election campaign, Ben Houchen promised a new hospital for North Tees.

The #TeessideResistance called out his lies then, but not enough people believed us.

There won't be a new hospital at North Tees.
