Boris Johnson’s “landslide”? 2017 Theresa May 42.4% 13,636,624 2019 Boris Johnson 43.6% 13,966,451 Johnson added just 1.2% or 329,767 extra votes It was WHERE he gained votes + FPTP that gave him an 80 seat “landslide”. He wasn’t massively more popular. That’s a myth.

For record levels of child poverty on Teesside. For destroyed industry on Teesside. For polluted oceans and and dead rivers on Teesside. For disappearing tax payer money on Teesside. For education, health and skills erosion on Teesside. For crime and chaos on Teesside. #honours

They lied. Amateurs and chancers with no understanding of the complex networks built up over 40+Yrs. A Tory civil war morphed into the last kick of a dying Empire. Public school boys built it and destroyed it. Oh the irony.

Tonight I'm calling for the immediate resignation of Cleveland Police PCC Steve Turner and will be following up with a formal complaint to the Local Policing Panel. This behaviour is completely unacceptable

Borough Council agreed in October 2022 to adopt care experience as if it is a protected characteristic so that we, as a public body, can be more proactive in seeking out and listening to the voices of care experienced people when developing new policies based on their views.

Care Experience - many care experienced people face discrimination, stigma, and prejudice in their day to day lives. Public perceptions of care experience centre on the idea that children are irredeemably damaged and that can lead to discrimination and assumptions being made

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council have refreshed their Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy. For the first time it includes Care Experience as a protected characteristic.

I hesitated a lot to tell my story on TV. I did it to give hope. I realised I managed to do something with my life even though I had a traumatic childhood. It won’t always be easy, embrace the process, persue your dreams and believe in yourself. #Foster #PotteryThrowdown

I will carry on RT this to remind and shame the Brexiteer protagonists of their big lie foisted on the British electorate.
