Hearing about Sikh harassment.
A murderer does not define a community.
Sikhs have served Britain with distinction, created jobs and always contributed.
We’re lucky to have them.

- I watched both women face tough questions today. Kemi was open, energetic and optimistic. Rachel was guarded, negative and anxious. I think Labour are in big trouble.
- Govt Restrictions Are Unacceptable We tried to communicate with govt but they didn’t listen They’re imposing restrictions that’ll kill viable jobs & damage mental health I do not accept the government’s intended restrictions - they’re based on ignorance Updates to follow
00:00 - Labour’s attempt to tax private education was never about fairness - it was about bitterness. If you want to tax the rich then put income tax up. And don’t take a £20k gift to help your son’s education
- This is the most dishonest government I’ve ever seen. Rightly, Louise Haigh’s now sacked from govt. But the big question is: why did Starmer appoint a known fraudster?
- What’s in a name? Everything!! So pleased that our airport is now being rebranded TEESSIDE Airport
00:00 - Ladies and gentlemen, Beth Mead European champion, winner of the Golden Boot AND Player of the Tournament! Born in Whitby, raised in Hinderwell, played in and for Middlesbrough, graduated from Teesside Uni. Superstar! And all beneath a Wembley arch full of Boro scarves!
00:00 - I'm calling on Tees politicians to join me to protect Captain Cook’s legacy after campaigners called to remove statues of our famous explorer. Some have targeted Cook memorials to be taken down. Cook was a working class hero who rose to be the most celebrated man in Europe.
- We’ve done it! I couldn’t be prouder to be the new Mayor of Middlesbrough. Thank you everyone for your votes and the faith you’ve shown in me. Thank you to all those who supported my campaign - you’ve been amazing!
- Cup success in the last 30 years... Tottenham 1 English cup final 1 English cup win 1 European final Middlesbrough 4 English cup finals 1 English cup win 1 European final And yet Spurs think they should join a European super league!
- When/if the govt announcement becomes law we will conform, 100% But to be clear: the messaging from govt today represents disregard for local expertise, local knowledge and local needs Pls note...I don’t welcome endorsements from Covid deniers, conspiracy theorists or doyles"They are unnecessary, they go too far, they'll damage mental health, and they'll kill viable jobs." Mayor of Middlesbrough Andy Preston says "if there is a law, I will follow the law... but as things stand, I do not accept these proposals". Latest: trib.al/kFb3lbO
00:00 - Awesome entertainment brand STACK is coming to Middlesbrough! A leisure venue featuring street food and bars, made up 25 shipping containers, will be up and running by March. It will take up the space opposite our railway station under the A66 where Royal Exchange nightclub was
- It’s Keir Starmer’s 100 day mark tomorrow. The man who promised to restore trust has brought scandal, chaos and hypocrisy. What a disaster for us all.
