Andy Preston's description of Boro councillors
I also don't care that Tory MP's are in the majority across Teesside. The fact they are means more is getting spent and invested here and I'm all for that. Government are a joke, but I want what's best for Teesside and if we have to shake hands with the devil to get it, then I will.
What positive things is he doing for Middlesbrough that hasn't been done before?I couldn't give 2 hoots. He's doing positive things for the town that predecessors never have.
All you've done is fall for the lies.I see no lies. Middlesbrough always has been a political vehicle for self indulgence of those in the chair.
"But Preston is dodgy, he tells lies, he's too Tory" - I couldn't give 2 hoots. He's doing positive things for the town that predecessors never have.

The area I live in always has been denied development money for that very reason. The fact it’s now receiving it is something to be happy about.That's a really selfish attitude and not at all democratic.
The area you live in is denied development money because it doesn't vote for the party of government?
That sort of autocratic behaviour leads to one party states.
Granted I may not be aware of everything. But what I can see with my own eyes are things happening that haven’t for generations locally.All you've done is fall for the lies.
They've massively cut government spending in areas like Teesside.

The government spending you refer to I’m guessing is funding to local authorities which is fair enough, but only a third of their funding comes from central government so while unhelpful, the wider investment in the good things happening locally could potentially provide a brighter future for our kids and grandkids.
You say fell for the lies, I’d call it looking at the bigger picture.
