Very grateful to have been re-elected this afternoon. What was a safe Labour ward just two years ago has returned three local Conservatives. Great day for Shields.

It was great to speak to Year 5 at one of the schools in my ward.
I don’t think I even knew the word councillor at their age - these kids were really impressive.
Election fever has struck Whitehouse!
We go to the ballots to elect our school council General Election Day.
Year 5 met with

We’re bucking the national trend in North Tyneside with an amazing group of councillors, flipping safe Labour seats year on year.
With fresh ideas and new blood, it’s a great time to be a local Conservative 👇
Delighted to have been elected leader of the North Tyneside Conservative group at tonight’s Council AGM.
We’re working hard to hold this Labour administration to account and stand up for residents across our borough ✅
We need a PM who will take the right decisions for our country, not one who will say anything for votes.
It was great to sit down with
@RishiSunak
to talk about his plans to help our GPs 👇
Great to be campaigning in Pennywell this morning for

We hope everyone’s having fun getting ready to watch the match this afternoon.
Best of luck to the black and white army

Was great to present Karen with a Community Champion Award for the brilliant work she does at Rake Lane!

We've got a Labour government who've said austerity was a choice for 14 years - I wonder if any of their 400+ MPs will speak up when they renege of their pledges.
“These are serious allegations about the treatment of women who are afraid to speak out in the local Labour party - what a damning indictment."
How awful…
1/ 🚜 New planning applications have been made for progress on Labour's 3,000 new houses at Rake Lane, including huge signs and sales cabins. Last month, I asked if these applications could be scrutinised by the planning committee so I could raise concerns from residents.
Why is our taxpayer money being used for this Labour Party political broadcast?
Less taxpayer money on glitzy Labour promos - more money on police please.

Was an honour to be invited to Teeside intl Airport to represent North Tyneside at the PM's visit this afternoon.
Great opportunity to discuss investment in the region with many of our NE Conservative MPs and colleagues.
As usual, our North Tyneside Labour councillors and Kim McGuinness will show up for a campaign day for Labour in Blyth but won’t come to our area to sort out ASB… 👇
Huge turnout for

in Cramlington, with members from across Northumberland, North Tyneside & Newcastle coming together on national campaign day to win back this seat and elect a Labour government.
As a newly elected Councillor in the red wall, I know just how tough elections can be.
We need to rebuild credibility and trust so we can take a positive message and go on to win the next General Election.

buses cancelled today between Shields and Newcastle, 7-8am…
Hard to use public transport to get to work when it’s so unreliable at commute time
Stark contrast to Newcastle Labour: North Tyneside Labour just refused to allow opposition parties to chair scrutiny.
Where else is it acceptable to mark your own homework?
2/ ❌ Unfortunately, Labour councillor
@ChillySamuel
has rejected my request for open scrutiny - as, in his words, the matter is not "significant" or "contentious" enough. So I won’t be able to speak on behalf of our community against these plans.
Could this road closure mark the end of these many months of disruption and money wasting? All for a roundabout that no one wanted?
Labour are planning more of these across the borough - one councillor even suggested every roundabout should be one.
❗ From Monday 4 July 2022, Rake Lane / Billy Mill Lane roundabout will be closed for four nights for road resurfacing between 7pm and 6am. Diversions will be signposted.

@ElectionMapsUK
🥱 no there wasn’t, we’ve just had 3 invisible Labour councillors for over a decade who neglected the area.
I’m more than happy to show you how we’re trying to improve our park, engage local businesses and clean up our area. That’s what matters clearly.

Crime is a matter for the police and of course I disapprove of this.
From my part, I’m working hard to have those wands removed to make it safer for everyone. They’ve already removed some down by the Lidl.
Right to Buy is a great scheme. I know many people who have become homeowners through it and it’s a huge shame to hear Labour councillors trying to stop it.
🚨 Listen to a North Tyneside Labour councillor trying to stop Right to Buy 👇
At a meeting this week, Labour councillors discussed how to stop residents in North Tyneside becoming homeowners through the Government's Right to Buy scheme.
@NTCouncilTeam
This is an amazing community initiative and they do an incredible job. It is a shame that we need groups like this and if Norma did her job right litter wouldn’t be such a problem.

@steve02812225
It could have been, but unfortunately as North Tyneside Council only applied for Rake Lane that’s all they could use it for. It didn’t have to be this way.
3/ I'm appalled at Labour's refusal to listen to our worries. This huge development is going to have a real impact on all of us, and I will continue to push against it wherever I can.

@ConservativesNT
It’s not a gimmick for people in North Shields having to live with dangerous motorbike riders. Perhaps at the next election we can get a PCC who will help us tackle ASB - rather than use it as a photo op for a mayoral campaign 🤞
@KiMcGuinness
when I asked you to resign, I didn’t mean to resign as PCC and go for a bigger job!
Kim has been using her role as PCC to campaign for this for months and has strayed well outside the remit of the PCC.
