Anti-vaxers are the actual pits. This neednโ€™t happen, and is caused by them and them alone. No excuse to not vaccinate your children for the sake of a healthier society.

The national insignia should be most prominent, not the sponsors. Always thought FDJ did it properly, no logos at all on the Tricolor jersey.

How SeAH Wind's biggest order was cancelled and why it's important The only tenant on Teesworks appears to be facing a storm brewing as chief exec replaced and production delayed

This week it came out that Teesworks' only tenant has lost its biggest contract because it can't supply it.

I look into what's happened, as well as the reaction to it from the Tees Valley mayor, Ben Houchen.

Teessideโ€™s Green Revolution? Not so fast In the first of two articles, Iโ€™ll discuss Hughesโ€™s conversation with Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen, on the subject of the so-called Green Revolution

Is Ben Houchen making unrealistic promises about data centres on Teesside?

I'll give you three guesses.

I've never known anyone who was obsessed with immigration who wasn't an out and out loser and an absolute racist bigot.

I'm saying it because it's simply not said enough.

Weakening our trade links with the worldโ€™s largest free market, especially one made up of our nearest neighbours, has proven to be a terrible decision. We must make rejoining the single market and customs union a priority.
