Flabbergasted at that, I have met him twice and he was a bit odd/full of hell at the time, I admired his gall, he was in the wrong place with the wrong type of people to be kicking off with. But I never thought he would go on like that with other companies or major players. You get more with sugar than vinegar.

Predictably #BentBen, his wingman #SimonClart and the STDC are spinning this furiously. The STDC statement is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the truth, saying that they didn't want to go to court, but PD Ports forced their hand. In reality Houchen's arrogance and hubris prevented an out-of-court settlement, and it's cost us £5m. Typical Tory, he doesn't care, it's not his money. He gambled on a big win as part of his re-election campaign, followed by a Bob-the-Builder construction cosplay photo op at South Bank Quay. Eat

I know those in the PD Ports statement and would believe them every time over Dodgy Ben. Both Jerry and Frans are very decent people, who I have no doubt didn’t want it to go to court.Predictably #BentBen, his wingman #SimonClart and the STDC are spinning this furiously.

And now the Gazette is reporting huge "potential" investment. Article no doubt dictated down the phone by Ben:

It's a bit like wishing Johnson, Truss, Sunak, Gove, Patel, Braverman, et al wouldn't behave as they do.

Good morning grumpyoldgit. The Gazette is falling for #BentBen's spinAnd now the Gazette is reporting huge "potential" investment. Article no doubt dictated down the phone by Ben:
Wind farm developer debunks reports of plans for £100m plant at Teesworks
A spokesman for the company said they were in the process of assessing options for the storage of monopiles destined for east cost wind projects
as usual - "Copenhagen-based developer Ørsted is reportedly due to announce plans this week to build the factory at the UK's largest freeport". NO IT ISN'T. The deal, if there is one, is to build more monopiles at the SeAh factory which is being built at South Bank Quay right now. Ørsted never said that they were building another monopile factory. That simply doesn't make sense, Naomi Corrigan of the Gazette needs to stop copying and pasting TVCA press releases and do the fact-checking that she's supposed to be paid for. And, obvs, this press release is timed to try to bury Houchen's humiliation in the High Court yesterday. We'll give this one a while to see whether it translates into reality. They usually don't.

I remember as a kid being driven on the old road from Fisherman's crossing to South Gare probably early 50s. It went through the old Warrenby works and you were dodging trains etc. I was terrifiedWe’ve got super Ben Houchen
He knows exactly what we need
I've driven a thousand and one times since to the Gare without let, hindrance or payment. I'd suggest therefore that it is a public road and owned by neither of them

Front page of the Gazette is complete spin as well. People of Teesside are being lied to and it makes me furious that BenT is going to get away with this.
