My negotiations with Treasury for North East devolution began back in Jan 2020. It's been quite a journey. The latest twist is @UKLabour HQ's ironic decision not to fully devolve the choice of NE Mayor to local Labour members. Want the full story? ๐Ÿ‘‰

@MayorJD @UKLabour Much time invested Driscoll, & appear let down by many who play musical chairs as Politics for too many , a game for their Self INTERESTS & not about real planning/helping larger Community- Just jargon /spin and climbing their Self Economic /vested stairs. Shameful -LabWhatNow?

@MayorJD @DSkippings @UKLabour Jamie. Mate. Leave. Labour is a busted flush. If you stand as an independent, there will be hundreds of us who will travel the country to canvass for you. No joke. You deserve to stand. Don't let them screw you over.

@MayorJD @UKLabour Brilliant stuff, Jamie - a great read! I know you're still (rightly) fighting to be on the ballot for the Labour nomination, but if unsuccessful, please stand as an Independent. What you have achieved (with others) in reaching this stage is outstanding. You have my vote!

@MayorJD @UKLabour But jamie if you persist in running your own agenda like you have in jesmond and heaton along with closing bridges all for the minority and not going with the majority, then really you canโ€™t complain! Newcastle have screwed the city centre by adding the car and lorry tax

@MayorJD @UKLabour Scuppering existing negotiations by upending the selection process hands back some of the control of the future of the NE accrued by the work of @MayorJD and his team to the chaotic, corrupt Tories. Fabulous own goal @UKLabour . Just fabulous.

@MayorJD @UKLabour Need a better government as implementing such important regional improvements should not be so protracted. Also Jamie is obviously far too effective and able to get things done to be in the 'social conservative' Labour party, that prefers the status quo #LabourSelectionStitchUps

@MayorJD @UKLabour What really makes me sick is the distain with which @UKLabour is treating its members across the North East by rigging the selection contest. Members are being told they can choose between Party HQ's favoured candidate and 2 other names who aren't even actively campaigning!
