Tory govt clears Tory mayor

That's not entirely fair. I heard him interviewed in depth on national radio last week. It was about the potential bankruptcy of Middlesbrough Council and the underfunding of local government in general. He came across quite well. On your general point, I agree. Labour needs to be much more aggressive in holding Houchen to account.
Unfortunately, as a whole, labour have been rubbish on the marketing front for a very long time. Think about how badly the economy has been run, how the debt has doubled and yet the Tories manage to blame Labour for that and be believed. If they struggle to do that on a national scale they will struggle on a local level.
 
6 weeks I believe prior to an election. I seen the Lib Dem’s candidate in gazette last night so obviously free space is being given to candidates
 
Heads up that BenT is on Look North politics programme tomorrow morning. Looks like it will be pre-recorded.
Maybe someone will ask the relevant questions while BenT no doubt will just parrot 'no corruption found' and 'new hospital' for half an hour.

Last week the host allowed Simon Clarke to spout nonsense for most of the show , so don’t expect him to challenge Elmer Fudd on anything.
