For the benefit of those briefing & any journalists writing about moving Labour HQ to North there has been a Head Office of @UKLabour in #North for going on for two decades. As I spent the bulk of my time working for the party there, it seems only fair to remind people it exists.

Northern MPs, should be thinking about what is best for #north , & if towns like #Darlington #Crewe & many more besides miss out then don’t say northern business & civic leaders didn’t warn you @ConnectBritain . This article in @MoS_Politics ignores facts & comment is load of tosh

Thanks @Philgeorgiadis for writing how @HS2ltd has ended up in its current predicament. My clear rebuttal to @mragilligan is it is his fault BCR 🚄 has fallen so low, as #EasternLeg he had Boris cancel had best conventional value for money assessment
