 Labour, highlighting Tory sleaze.

Who would have thought 4 years ago, that Labour were in a position to call the other side out !?

But the Tory Morpeth Mafia have outdone anything which has gone on before

This is the Tories at Northumberland County Hall charge sheet (you won't see this on any of their leaflets !)

 1 . Unlawfully tried to sack Chief Executive

 2. Unlawfully suspended Chief Executive

 3. Tried to remove and silence Chief Executive after she raised concerns about a potential bias over a personal relationship within the Cabinet and about Advance Northumberland (all such concerns, subsequently completely vindicated) *in favour of the Chief Executive.

 4. Tried to interfere with the resulting complaint and investigation processes and get "Morpeth Mafia" members on the Staffing Committee.

 5. Continuing to run Advance Northumberland in an appalling way and denying that there are any problems.

 6. Tried to use Covid funding, then money allocated for adult social care, for Advance

 Northumberland's mistake - leaving taxpayers with a huge liability of up to £8 million.

 7. Interference continued with ongoing processes despite being warned it was highly

 Inappropriate (QC's findings).

 8. Bombarding staff with correspondence and generally running a campaign of intimidation, meaning special measures had to be implemented to protect the staff.

 9. Putting, and keeping, a Cabinet Member in place in charge of Finance who owed the Council £31 ,000 and who declared another company bankrupt after the Council issued court proceedings to recover monies owed to it by this company.

10. Fours years after removing the Councils prime planning document from inspection after telling the public a new plan would be delivered in three months no new acceptable document has been cleared by Government. Developers can build anywhere and have done so since 2017.

11. Spent untold £millions on a building scheme at County Hall in Morpeth that is running into year five.

12. Allowing parking charges to creep back in. £7 to park all day in Bamburgh will kill off tourism from Tyneside and rising parking charges in Country Parks is a huge tax on local dog walkers. But the icing on the cake for the Tories is that they have now deserted businesses in Corbridge by hiking up parking costs for shoppers.

13. Apart from spreading a little bit of grit and second hand tamac clippings spread on the Ranch car park the Tories have done nothing for Seaton Valley at all.

14. The Tories lied about reopening the AB&T Northumberland rail line to passengers. The Government pledged £34M but now want that amount slashed. Labours North of Tyne Mayor told the truth that the project will need an extra £126M to get up and running.

15. Have left a huge first world war ‘hole’ in the centre of Ashington.

16. Canceled the Pipers Place project in Bedlington and left their second ‘Hole’ visible to all.

17. Dumped loads of new development in Amble Pegswood, Ashington and Cramlington to use up their housing numbers to keep their ‘moblands’ clear of complaints.

18. Apart from rhetoric, delivered no promised improvements in Blyth Town Centre.

19. Haven’t built a new Council house in four years but allowed the indiscriminate development of Homes of Multiple Occupancy in and around Blyth Town Centre driving up the fear of crime for residents.

20. Slashed the overall Council workforce numbers and rely on Parish Councils handouts to get services you pay highly for through Council Tax delivered.

Will Berwick become the Tijuana of the UK?

 

Living in an ever growing right-wing society with the Prime Minister of the UK acting as an ancient tribal deity, judging and pardoning himself from acts of corruption and being able to hide from the creation of a border which alienates citizens dwelling within the land he was ‘democratically’ elected to represent, not rule.

We can also point towards top advisors to the Government outside of the Dominic Cummings revelations stating that No. 10 is ‘anti working class’. This obviously is a pointer towards the creation of a right-wing two tier society and we need to ask if the Home Secretary is considering bringing back the Sumptuary Laws to enable her envisaged police state to instantly recognize your distinct standing in society at the weekends?

That murky rant obviously brings us to the Berwick question and possibly why 48% of Scottish people polled last week regarding a second referendum on independence said they would like to leave the clutches of the UK and their first minister who in recent months has become recognised as the Tom Pepper she is has agreed that a hard border would have to be created between the nations of England and Scotland, currently that border without a referendum being taken on the Northern Counties of England has its eastern crossing point at Berwick upon Tweed.

It's a wonderful but constrained by history border Town with limited room for expansion but unplanned expansion may be what it gets if those now classified as working class by the Tories (thats people who haven’t been elitely privately educated with Eton being the chosen temple) try to escape the ever facshist right-wing England to gain access to greener and more socially liberal grass north of the border begin to cluster near Marshalls Meadows.

At the other land of the free across the proverbial pond we have similar things happening and we only need to take an e-look at the Tijuana/San Diego crossing situation to see how important the feeling of being free is to people. The current crop of Tories have a lot to answer for  and the development of a fear factor of the state is one of those things we must all rally against.

Jamie Clarifies there’s £128m shortfall to reopen AB&T Line

 £34M Tory supercon exposed?

For almost two years the Tories in Northumberland have been leading residents in Northumberland into the fantasy belief that finance regarding the reopening of the Ashington, Blyth and Tyne Northumberland Line to passenger traffic is in place for an early finish date. They have had minster after minister up to Blyth, photo after photo taken with the Blyth MP Ian Levy and leading Councillors from Morpeth to show that the former Leader of the Conservatives in Northumberland’s promise that he wouldn’t spend in Blyth or Ashington must be forgotten and that huge investments will be made, as always with Tory Stories (sometime in the future).

The recent reports in the Chronicle that the Government want to cut budgets for rail projects in the rush to start Austerity 2 and that Northumberland County Councils administration had accepted cuts to the much vaunted £34m investment wiping out the new station and transport hub at Bebside which would bring the line so close to opening you could smell it.

Election panic set in immediately into the bleeding hearts of Northumberland Tories and the Morpeth Mob were found quaking so hard that a minister had to be delivered for ever more photos to prove their secret Cabinet decision to slash the project was wrong and that it would be U-turned and the £34M investment stands.

All of the noise surrounding this debacle was sorted yesterday when the North of Tyne Mayor who spoke with Government released a statement that the Station at Bebside would go ahead but his caveat was that the line still wouldn’t open until the Tory Government coughed up another £128m as the project will cost £162m.

Yet the Tories in Northumberland agreed to slash cash from £34M!

Will it ever be reopened?

Not with the fantasy story tellers in the Tory party involved it won’t.

Levy Family ditch Cram Tories to support the ‘nasties’?

On this blog you rarely see us praising our competitor for readership the so called Northumberland Murky Blogspot which over the last six years has poured hot vitriol over any middle of the road blog seeking to tell the truth about the extremists involved with and in Tory politics in Northumberland, but this week we would like to thank them for exposing the Levy family for what they are.

It appears that the NMB is in possession of information that the Levy’s are in full support of bringing back the Leader of the Morpeth Mob, Peter Jackson who was accused of promoting bullying, corruption, dodgy land dealings, racism and numerous other nasty party irregularities including the mass replacement of finance officers who may have caught them out. Whilst pooh poohing the fact that the accounts of the County Council have failed all tests since he became Leader, a very important fact to take into consideration when voting on May 6th.

 He was sacked as Leader of Northumberland County Council in a coup to stop the disgraceful actions against Council Officers by a coalition of Labour, Independent and Cramlington Conservatives, Daley, Dunbar and Swinburn.

Levy's alignment with the ultra right wing mob shows that they have also ditched the Cramlington Conservatives whose wider group were responsible for selecting Ian Levy as their successful candidate for the 2019 General Election.

Ditching your mates is something the Levy’s can ill afford to do as under Conservtive party rules you need your mates backing to ensure the longevity of your career in politics but with the families now public alliance with the Mob via the matriarch of the Levy’s then we now all know what she is, as the clarity that the Tory powerbase in Cramlington is rapidly fading and the ship jumping wife of a sitting MP is now getting used to the big bank balance her hubby is salting away to change her lifestyle forever and will readily face the bulying from the Northumberland Tory Mob in order to keep the goodies rolling in to her purse, as she must know how badly these Tories treat second class women just look at the torture the millionaire lothario Peter Jackson has allegedly put his wife through in recent months when his alleged affair with another power mad Tory was publically exposed.

Good on you NMB for bringing this dangerous debacle to everyone's attention.

Workers and Trade Unions need to know about their futures?

Tory secret Cabinet needs to tell the truth!

Social Media comment surrounding the May 6th election 2021 is beginning to settle on a very small number of issues. In a year when social media is driving election communications like never before we here at Murkey have been watching how much comment which includes questions about the future of Northumbria Healthcare Trust Adult Care sector and workforce is being removed from Tory candidate sites quicker than the proverbial from a stick.

We have spoken with a number of workers across the County who are seriously concerned about their future and the life chances for their families who wish to engage in a career in care in the future.

The only news that workers have is that the much exalted at Government level, partnership between Northumbria Healthcare Foundation Trust and Northumberland County Council will end in September 2021 and the Tories at County Hall are cock-a-hoop about it.

Its also been revealed through our sources that Councillors outside the single party Cabinet at Northumberland do not have any detail at all regarding the replacement for the Adult Care service for patients and for those workers in the Charities which contract with the Care Trust and deliver in home care to people, rumours are rife about the possible lack of job security in the long term.

We are aware through watching social media that Tory Councillors and candidates outside of the Cabinet structure have been instructed not to get into any debate at all on the breakup which leads us to worry about whats being cooked up.

A short snippet picked up from a leading cabinet members facebook page regarding what he and others were doing one day in October 2019 may lead us to the answer. As well as bullying staff, some Cabinet Members were going to hear about Social Care Co-operatives from an expert in the field.

For those who don’t know, Social Care Co-operatives remove the democratic accountability for patients from care and use a client contractor split basis to deliver care, harking back to how the Thatcher Government dealt with the demise of democracy in Council Housing which led tenants to rush out from the protection of the Council and gift their homes to Housing Associations.

For the Trade Unions who work in the Local Government field they will be able to explain how quickly workers rights and the public sector pension schemes are eroded and replaced with much lesser deals and that's one of the big savings to a co-operative that Tory employers love but will contribute a massive blow to the Counties economy in the future as workers plans for their retirement are eroded or in many cases simply melt away.

If this is to be the future planned by the Tories at County Hall then they need to make an immediate response to our teams question today and come clean about the planned future for the huge workforce which looks after the elderly and infirmed in a county which is well known nationally as home to an aging society.

Tories did Cancel Bebside Station

 

 then tried a cover up: Read

Stories covering up the abandonment of Bebside Station as part of the reopening of the AB&T Northumberland Line have been issued by Tories over the last few days. Some from the MP for Blyth Ian Levy who had to make a climb down from his first position of his pantomime position of ‘Oh no were not’ in the Chronicle when he found out that his Tory Mates on both Northumberland County Council and in Government had said ‘Oh yes we are’.

People from the parts of Blyth affected by the abandonment feel let down and ignored by Northumberland Conservatives who vowed prior to the 2017 Local Government Elections never to deliver anything in Blyth, A promise they have well and truly kept.

Here’s the link to the article in the New Civil Engineer https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/northumberland-line-station-to-be-axed-in-project-speed-cuts-20-04-2021/?fbclid=IwAR0OiBAle6jMo59WxI5MzbCk27aEvdmaDi04WeDTpwBzNt3lT95QTxeO4Jw issuing out the same information as the Chronicle: That the project will go ahead without the transport hub at Bebside due to cost and this will then quicken the service from Ashngton to Newcastle.

Labour members have asked for clarification of the situation and pledged to finance the transport hub if they win a majority at the election on May 6th.
