20% of business rates going to local mayors from next year. Money raised locally, invested locally. Common sense!

1/2 The UK has hosted the Summer Olympics three times, at very different moments in history. 1908, 1948, 2012 Each time, London has showcased the best of our country and left a lasting legacy. Now it’s time for the North to shine ✨

Reform UK Councillor Martin Uren, Camperdown Ward, North Tyneside has shared a video on his official Councillor Facebook page, where the commentator says "I absolutely, 100% believe that gay couples adopt children to molest them". He captioned it: "I could write an entire essay with regards to this, the point is made". @NTCouncilTeam and @reformparty_uk take notice.

Fancy that… our Reform Council leader campaigning for the very same Tory Government he now runs a mile from, that shafted Sunderland with austerity, that signed terrible asylum accommodation contracts costing taxpayers billions while losing control of the immigration system

As Reform UK’s Sunderland Leader @CllrChrisEynon blocked us, he won’t see that we are reminding everyone that he used to campaign for Boris Johnson, for a Conservative government. He would really hate this, so whatever you do, don’t also share it.

Liverpool, you’re the best. Thanks to all the staff across the hotels, conference centres, and venues across the city for such a warm welcome. And a particular thanks to the Police, security staff, and armed forces for ensuring a safe week. @UKLabour staff - you nailed it 🌹

My view on @ReformUkWear’s withdrawal of Council support from @SRTRC_England. ‘Be more Benno’ is not a bad maxim to guide us in times like this👇

Our @ChronicleLive and @TheJournalNews front pages as history is made on Tyneside: @andyburnham becomes the first sitting Prime Minister to do the Great North Run, alongside a record-breaking 63,000 runners. Just brilliant, @Great_Run. Well done all! #TomorrowsPapersToday
