Teessiders deserve better than this. #StrippedTees

Another contract lost at SeAH. This is a massive embarrassment for Teesside. The Hornsea 3 project has lots of eyes on it across the world. The scale of this project is massive. And our involvement is that we can’t fulfil contracts. We’ve had a #StrippedTees with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Alright folks! Which one of you lot is gonna go crack some whips over at the TVCA? I have a feeling @raycasey.bsky.social and I are barred from applying 👀 northeastbylines.co.uk/region/teess...

In a time when the Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen is increasing his own budget by 79% please do have your say on that here: teesvalley-ca.gov.uk/about/budget...

Did anyone else see the massive squadron of fighter jets flying over Teesside last night?

I’ve been trying to post about this but they keep getting deleted so we need to keep highlighting it. This cannot be buried.

Can someone please tell me if there is an investigation into Johnson, Farage, Rees-Mogg and Gove conspiring to bring down a UK prime minister?

That’s both the monitoring officer and the finance director that were brought in to fix the mess of their predecessors hop skipping out of there. #StrippedTees

Ben (yes m’lord) Houchen’s Teesworks cash cow (for some) fails the UK once again. When will this madness end (or be ended)? Baron by entitlement, barren by impact.

SeAH have lost their biggest contract (one of two) at Teesworks. Yet there is still no government inquiry into the whole project. Teessiders are being failed. We want answers. #StrippedTees

My latest article for @northeastbylines.co.uk on one of Ben Houchen's three failing mayoral development corporations The Middlesbrough Development Corporation: where dreams come to die northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

The evidence is clear. Poor outcomes are not inevitable, but they are predictable | James Waterson

The stats in this are shocking. So many vulnerable young people are being failed by the system.

The dream team Mike Hughes (former Recognition PR employee and Graham Robb bestie) alongside Ben Houchen are hosting a green energy networking event at Teesworks if any of you are interested. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/impact-pow... #StrippedTees #TruthOnTeesside #TeessideResistance

Reminder that this is what Houchen thinks of Richard Brooks. Would definitely have liked to be a fly on the wall when Houchen saw his 8 page expose had dropped. #TruthOnTeesside

Get your copy of Private Eye to read the 8 page special by Richard Brooks. An incredible body of work that lays bare Houchen’s reign as Tees Valley Mayor. He absolutely needs dragging to Parliament to explain himself and the police should be investigating the customs zone. #TruthOnTeesside

Houchen up to his usual tricks then.

Kim McGuiness is offering connecting Washington to the rail system via Metro whilst Ben gives us....... ..... new rail stations at Teesside Park, South Bank and Teesside International Airport, an autonomous tram pilot and a third platform at Middlesbrough Station. Oh and Eaglescliffe Station?????

With £1bn signed off by the government for the TVCA’s transport plan please have a look at their answers to questions put to them by the public at the last Transport committee meeting. democracy.southteesdc.co.uk/about/wp-con...

If they integrated the services so you can jump on any bus would help. There’s so many journeys in the TV that require a change of service or bus operator that the £2/£3 flat fare has never benefited a lot of people.

Yep, they keep tweaking the timetables to ‘make them more reliable’ but it never seems to work.

2 hours to get to Newcastle by bus (used to take 50 minutes when I started commuting). 1hr 15 by train (plus 20 mins on bus to the station). Something needs to be done, we always seem to be going backwards.

The TVCA are being given £1bn to improve transport. Their current plans only add up to £515m. What are they doing with the rest of the money? For an authority who is under special measures for financial mismanagement to be given this amount of cash I despair at what money pit it’ll be going into.

BBC Mayor’s questions. 🤐 Gillian was the only person who had her mic cut. Wonder why that is… 🤐 They also didn’t ask my question either. ⏰ It started at 9:15am so not even a full hour and it took 15 mins to answer 2 questions. 🤥 The next one is 2nd July. What happened to it being monthly?

Don’t forget 👇

What discussions and progress has been made with regards the proposed “trackless trams”? What discussions where had with Northern Rail about state of rolling stock, frequency improvements and short carriages?

How many passengers does Tees Flex service a year at what cost per passenger per journey?

‼️Reminder! Just a FYI, they are being inundated with questions about Teesworks (naturally) so maybe think on other topics. If you need any help just inbox me. Happy to discuss your ideas!

Hi #BenHouchen fans So, Ben will be holding a public questions session on BBC Tees on Thursday am Read all about it here, courtesy of James Waterson and @northeastbylines.co.uk Mayor who branded public questions insane to face public questions live on radio northeastbylines.co.uk/region/teess...

Ben Houchen will be answering public questions on BBC Tees on 15 May at 9-10am. Send in your name, number and where you are from with your question. You can email your question [email protected] or call 08000 85 95 95 or text 81333 and start your message with the word TEES.

Should be scrapped rather than halted …a cabal of crooks attempting buying up the nations prime land for a song. The fact that it was under the auspices of the (anything but) Rt.Hon Michael Gove says it all.

Just send the commissioners in already.

I didn’t know you needed the eyes of a hawk to read about the TVCA’s plan to spend £128.133m in Digital and Tech. If you’re colour blind forget about it I guess. Can’t wait for them to oversee getting disabled people back to work when they don’t know the basics of readability.

It took the TVCA 3 weeks to respond to my email about bus regularity. This is something which affects me greatly and other people I know who use public transport. The only reason they responded was because I followed up. How many other public concerns are they missing?

With the new mega incinerator planned at Redcar that will burn waste for the whole of the North East this petition is so important. Please sign. #StopTheBurn petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

....How it's going

Hi🦀 #BenHouchen fans How it started....

It's one of Charly Mupenga's - graduate of The Northern School of Art teesvalleynewcreatives.org.uk/directory/ch...

Hadn’t noticed this mural in Boro before. Does anyone know who created it?

Houchen still hiding STDC decisions from the public. Some things never change.

Teesside Airport is so devoid of activity it’s become an attraction for dogging. I doubt Lord Airport puts this in his brochures.
