Hi🦀#BenHouchen🦀fans

Today I am going to talk about Houchen's slick PR guru Graham Robb.

So why would I do this?

Because PR is all that shysters like Ben Houchen have got.

A thread....

#HouchenOut #BinBen #TeessideResistance #ToriesOut650 Slick PR guru Graham Robb runs a firm called Recognition PR.

His list of clients include the worst right wing lunatics, lying politicians, scam artists and vacuous self-promotors in the UK.

I'm going to name the top1⃣2⃣dirty dozen

Hi🦀#BenHouchen🦀fans

Oliver Dowden was in Hartlepool celebrating the loading of turbine blades for the Dogger Bank windfarm.

But he's a lying Tory, and all is not what it seems.

A thread....

🦀#BentBen🦀#ToriesOut392🦀 So this is a 🦀#Teesside🦀success story, right?

Well, no. Dogger Bank is being developed by GE Renewables.

They were going to make their turbines at #TeessideFreeport but they cancelled the contract

Hi everyone

Welcome to my #BoondoggleBen thread.

Today's theme is an exploration of #BenHouchen's cynical, repetitive stunts regarding future Infrastructure projects which will never exist.

So, before I go further, a brief recap of his MO....

#ToriesOut312 Image ....As follows:

A press release/photo op dutifully carried verbatim by his local client media @TheNorthernEcho and @TeessideLive

A huge "cash boost" which can never be fact-checked, verified or audited

A word-salad of bullsh!t bingo buzz phrases such as....
