Tory confidence in Tyne and Wear heading up towards the Local Government elections has waned considerably yesterday as the announcements from their Chancellors Spring Budget sinks in.
Right across Tyne and Wear metropolitan council areas the Tory spin machines driven by top Tory strategist, Northumberland’s Councillor Richard Wearmouth have been working flat out to decry any failings caused by almost 12 years of Conservative austerity packages being rained down on North-East Councils as the fault of the Labour Party. Bullying, lying and rubbishing Labour Councillors as they try to trample their way towards victory in the forthcoming elections.
Their spin machines ground to an abrupt halt yesterday as the National Press even those most loyal to the Conservative Party shattered their dreams by coming out against the damaging effects of Rishi Sunaks budget which will be unbelievably damaging to people, communities and businesses across the whole of Tyne and Wear as the Government failed in the words of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation to “Throw the poorest People a Lifeline”.
Yesterday, UK Media gave out clear information that the problems facing both poorer and middle class families in the North have not been caused by the war in Ukraine but by over a decade of mismanagement with living standards for over 75% of people in the North-East slipping back to 2008 levels by October 2022 and that with only £2Bn to spend on levelling up in comparison to the £45Bn promised to pay for research and development projects to ensure shareholder profits are retained by those investors its clear that it will take 20 years plus to get the problems of the North-East resolved.
