MP calls for mayoral election re-run as Andy Preston charges dropped

Simon Clarke claims that Andy Preston entered into the mayoral race in the midst of numerous false allegations

Yet Brexit calls were undemocratic loonie lefties

He's an absolute F***ing idiot. Blocked me on Twitter for daring to ask him about this.


Granted, I did post it in response to nearly every tweet he made in a week...

Didn’t preston run? And I thought preston was independent not Tory.

Clarke looks like an absolute whopper here

 

[Concrete Dreams]

Like a spoilt brat who didn’t get his own way.
He is inept as a politician and as a human.

 

[ThatFragranceGuy]

Houchen, turner & smiles all retweeting it and claiming it "makes a lot of sense".

Yes he did & I don't think the public rven knew about the allegations until after the election

 

[Mr_Fridge]

Distraction from the “damning report” into Andy Preston’s Middlesbrough Development Company that’s in the “news” today?

Clarke has one of those faces you'd never tire of slapping.

Similar to Gove, Rees-Mogg, Farage..... there's probably some sort of connection there.

Just proving he's a man of the people.

Bet he's never played a game in his life. Utter cringe.

I'm quite glad this has started to come out because at least we can now put to bed the myth that the 'independent' candidates in the local area aren't just Tories pretending not to be.

Yeah, all the inter breeding.

How is the new mayor doing by the way? Genuine question, I just haven't heard much about him since the election. I know its still early days but would be interested in peoples thoughts.

He's not a Tory so you'll hear nothing until something goes wrong.

Helpful, thanks.

Taking a leaf out of Trump's book, I see.

It's so depressing in this country.

Helpful, thanks.

Talking about mdc

Damning report about development company shows 'how not to do it'

Councillors said the findings about the company, which is now being wound up, were 'scary' and 'shocking': 'It's like it's been held in secret'

To be fair, he could just be about to trap the ball and then go on a Zidane-like mazy dribble
