If his group comes here to launch a new political party on Saturday, we make clear we see them for what they are. We won’t be fooled by Tommy Robinson. He simply does not belong here. (4/4)

Tommy Robinson's brand of hate and division offers the people of the North East nothing. He won't create jobs, he won't do anything to reduce your energy bills, he won't make your local transport better.
All he offers is hate, and too often violence. There is no place for that in this region.(1/4)
