Ben Houchen's cronies buying electricity substations at 55p a go?

Hi🦀 #BenHouchen🦀 fans
You've seen Ben bragging about the new flights to Malaga from Teesside Airport
Cos he's spent a gazillion quid of your money advertising them.
But how many people are really flying from there?
Forget the hype - here are the stats, fresh from the CAA
Numbers are 10% down

Hi🦀 #BenHouchen🦀 and music fans
Going to any music festivals this year?
Well Ben's team certainly are!
He's just spent £19K of your money sending 2 TVCA staffers to the 'South by South West' music festival in Texas.
I wonder who the lucky people were?😉

Then, in both 2021 and 2024, Ben Houchen campaigned for Tees Valley Mayor on his promise to bring an Electric Arc Furnace to Teesside.
No ifs, no buts, no maybes.
But he knew that it was never going to happen.
Houchen is just a cruel, cynical populist who will say ANYTHING to get elected

Hi 🦀 #BenHouchen 🦀
So while Houchen continues to cynically exploit the plight of Scunthorpe steelworkers for political gain, let's have a look closer to home in Teesside
A short thread:
Firstly it was Houchen's Tories who shut down Redcar steelworks in 2015
They can't blame anyone else for that

....and then, when Ben Houchen has dropped Teessiders in the clart yet again, who is the knight in shining armour who is coming to save us?

Friendly reminder that Sky News, BBC news and the rest of them are doing their level best to crown Ben Houchen as the next Tory leader after they sack Kemi Badenoch.
They want Houchen to be Britain Trump in 2028.
The liar isn't suitable for high office, and we can't let this happen

This is a reminder of Houchen's boast during his 2017, 2021 and 2024 election campaigns:
"I'll bring steel making back to Teesside"
Yep, he lied about that 3 times.
In fact he's now doing the exact opposite - working with Donald Trump to close down the last of Teesside's steel industry

Hi 🦀 #BenHouchen🦀 fans
Well, it's time for the bluster to stop.
Ben Houchen's TVCA has been served with a Best Value Notice by Downing Street, and we'll finally get to know what the idiots at Teesside Airport have been up to.
What's that you say, Father Ted?....

That's correct, Jo
Starmer and Reeves have ditched their principles in a dash for growth that they won't even achieve.
Freeport criminality? No problem
Cosy up to the fossil fuel lobby? You got it
Slash benefits for the sick and disabled in a fake attempt to balance the books? They're on it

Hi Tori
Just FYI, I was at that meeting, in which Ben Houchen called me an idiot to my face.
I don't have a right to reply.
None of us do.
Houchen has been doing this to his own constituents for 8 years, insulting them, then blocking them on socials when they try to fight back
Unfit for office

It's pure iron, Liz, so you'd think it would be valuable to Musgrave and Corney
But they are going to have to chisel it out piece by piece.
Painstaking and expensive work, which will nullify the cash gained from selling the iron.
If it was financially viable, they'd have cleaned it out in 2022👍

So, to qualify as English ,you would need to be able to trace your ancestry back to, say, just before the arrival of the first Windrush ships and Asian workers to fill labour shortages in the 1950s
