REFORM Spinning their web without bothering to check out the truth.

 REFORM Blyth, which has been running out stories that local people must expect 20,000 refugees and asylum seekers being dumped on Northumberland which is roughly the population of Ashington, have started another spin exercise without even bothering to investigate what's really going on?

 Local ultra right wing long term wanna be politician whose coat bears more colours than the biblical Joseph, Barry Elliott ex UKIP, ex BREXITeer and now a Reform candidate has ran out a tale that members of Blyth’s two Council’s, County and Parish who sit on the Town Team are to blame because the work at Newsham Station seems to have reached a standstill.

This spin from Mr Elliott may be based on the news releases from Murdoch’s press illustrating that Reform and the Tories are designing a plan to merge as one, forming the CONFORM party as it seems anti-women sentiment, anti-NHS policy, republicanism and racism is becoming ever more popular through Musk’s publicised actions and his support for Tommy Robinson coupled with Trump's anti green moves on the other side of the pond are how the Conservatives and Reform feel love towards each other.

But Barry Elliott appears to have done very little in the way of investigation before releasing his rant against County Councillors, Town Councillors and private entrepreneurs who make up the ‘energising Blyth team’ (see their remit via the link below).

 The Northumberland Line which runs through Newsham Station and its huge car park to house commuters from Cramlington North is a project begun based on a business plan that doesn’t add up through the Conservative one party only cabinet of Northumberland County Council and the former Mayor of the North of Tyne Combined Authority, Jamie Driscol and is NOT part of the energising Blyth remit.

 
Mr Elliott should consider a quick rewrite of his tale or he may find himself replaced by a Tory for the local government elections on May 1 as Labour’s handling of the nations position on inflation has help those disenfranchised by high mortgage payments when the Tories were in office to begin to believe that Labour may be a better bet than a new party that will be split by dogma from day one.
