Cat dad and northern lad. Hillwalker. Probably “woke”. Sometime korfballer. Music, food and travel. And history and architecture. #NUFC North-eastern England. Like Reform? Passionate about flags? You’re going to hate me.

This question should be posed of him every single time he’s on the BBC.

I wouldn’t say it’s aged badly. It was just premature by like 19 months.

It’s a shame it’s the last one of these for at least 18 months.

Easier to report than to scrutinise.

You’d think they’d learn from the “Council tax cuts” promises they made. What’s the matter Nigel, did you not put your name to this?

Fancy thinking that any activity is more important than the whims of your cat.

“Now on Sky we’ve got Sarah Ferguson discussing Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species’.

It’s baffling. Shame on Sky - I thought the point of punditry was expert analysis. What next? Are we getting Wayne Rooney to discuss the spread of Calvinist doctrine in 16th century europe?

I know not everyone likes Rory Stewart but there’s something very wrong when this moron’s view carries the same weight as someone who has extensive knowledge of the region and what is achievable there.

And obviously someone else will get the blame for this. Someone in quality control should have verified this before putting a photograph of turd face on the leaflet. Not his fault. Nothing ever is.

I mean, in one sense he’s telling the truth that nothing with his name on it went out saying taxes would be cut. Just a big picture of his face.

And are said seats “shite”?

Does he have “seats” in his profile name?

I suppose there’s got to be some sort of payback for your perfect, instagram-friendly life where you get 365 days of sunshine, no UK tax, people who will work for you for very little money and a “vibrant community of expats”. Seems like this might be it. Suck it up.

Yeah. I follow the NPNL on here and saw this. I’ve no doubt that the Northumberland NP would do something similar. Very interested in the landscape and history of the North Pennines (esp mining heritage) so would love to get involved more.

A pity that the sustainability benefits of planting new trees will be negated by my CO2 emissions in driving to Teesdale…

Have signed up for some of this. I love the NPNL and am relishing the chance to do something exciting in part of the world I really cherish.

The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.

Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.

Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.

This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026

They all seem to want to be no 1 as well. There’s no public service, it’s all just ego.

Funny isn’t it? Reform are all about like the Blitz spirit and being tough. Arguments about clipboards 😅😅

I’ve read this to myself and for some reason I can only hear it in Alan Partridge’s voice.

I think the Queen just met her and decided there was really no point to anything anymore.
