TVCA is funding the event - not HBC.

Rumours are that Tice could stand for Reform.

A spokesperson for Hartlepool Borough Council and The Tall Ships Races Hartlepool 2023 said: ?With hundreds of thousands of visitors expected over four days, this prestigious, world famous free event will provide a huge boost to the local economy.  it didn't last time

means they will only lose ?15,000 this time
not to worry the council tax will cover it 

Will Council be putting double yellow lines every where to try and force people on the park and ride which nobody used ?
To provide a huge boost to the the town?s economy parking should be free every where for the 4 day event.

I can?t see our current MP being re elected, It will be between Labour and Reform U.K. and as a large majority voted Brexit I dread to say Reform U.K. could, people don?t appear to realise they are more right wing than the Tories.

i do hope your wrong for all our sakes

If I was a gambler I would bet if Reform U.K. had a candidate backed by Farage they would walk it, I can never understand what people see in Farage.

I'm not sure that Brash is quite as popular as he thinks he is ...

Unfortunately Brash would be a voice in the wilderness if elected as an MP, I fear we will have a Reform U.K. MP again it would be another voice in the wilderness, I think both similar to our current MP, once elected like the others do nought for Hartlepool.

i see our prospective MP is blaming tory rule for the rise in council tax (nothing new there)
what i don't understand is how the clowns in the kremlin can set a budget then get a million more than they expected and still have to bounce the council tax payer.
should be put out to grass the lot of them
thought a new leader was going to break eggs with sticks
some hope
he is as bad as the rest
and the sheep just keep following
