ALT I am delighted Durham police have investigated and concluded that neither I or my team have a case to answer in relation relation the work visit in Durham om 30th April 2021. I would like to thank officers for their professionalism and diligence throughout the investigation. However, it is unfortunate that the desire of some Conservative politicians to score political points has led to so much of Durham Police’s time being focused on a matter that was already investigated, especially when their resources are already under significant pressure. After the pressure of the last few months, I am enormously appreciative for the understanding my staff and their families have shown in the face of significant intrusion from the right wing media, including their children and parents being doorstepped. Now that this matter has been put to rest, I will continue to focus my efforts on serving my constituents, as well as on holding what is left of this shambolic government to account.
