- This from the Met is mind boggling. Thousands of robbery victims have given the Met the precise location of their stolen device thanks to inbuilt GPS, but the response is always the same: “nothing we can do, here’s a crime number.”Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley and @MayorofLondon have called on the mobile phone industry to play their part to help tackle the rising number of robberies in the capital. Figures show that mobile phone crime is driving the rise in robberies and thefts in the capital.
- 100% this. The people watching election results come in at 2am don’t want chit-chat.I would pay money to watch an old school election broadcast. Two psephologists around the main table, focus on the results, don’t miss a declaration. These days it just feels so dumbed down
- HS2 is the world’s most expensive railway under construction and will do little to boost growth around the country. Govt would get substantially more bang for its buck if it focused on cutting down regional commuter times.

- For years I worked alongside @BenHouchen and saw first hand the blood, sweat and tears he poured into the redevelopment of the @TeesworksUK site. This commitment to the region has resulted in £2bn in private investment, over 2,700 jobs and a return in return of community pride.Downing Street makes clear it stands by Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen after criticism of Tees Valley development

- Douglas Carswell does not represent 4million UKIP voters, he represents the 85,000 people who live in Clacton.
- Fantastic to be flying out of @TeesAirport to Aberdeen for the first time on @BritainRemade business. The airport is hugely important to the local economy, and if it wasn’t for @BenHouchen it would have been closed years ago and turned into a housing development.
- Replying to @RachaelMaskell and @j30mooRachael all you do is talk York down, as a father of a 2 yr old, I can tell you that York IS family friendly.
