People for Jamie Driscoll

Vote @mayorJD for North East Mayor this Thursday. The polling shows he’s 2 points behind Labour - and the Tories are nowhere, so there’s no risk of them winning. Tell everyone you know in the North East! jamiedriscoll.co.uk

The Establishment is finally waking up to how tired people are of a two party system that never seems to benefit them. In the North East, there is an alternative. We’re now only 2% behind in the polls and that’s closing fast. 👉labourlist.org/2024/05/jamie…

I’m disappointed that Labour and @KiMcGuinness are stooping to lies, using data from the 2019 General Election. The latest polls say it is a “dead heat” between me and the official Labour candidate. The Tories are toast – polling just 11%. If @UKLabour are having to use underhand tactics like this, it shows just how desperate they are. No wonder no one trusts Westminster parties. It’s time to put the North East first.

Being independent means I can put the people of the North East ahead of any Westminster party line. People across the board say they’re voting for me. Their reasons vary. Some are inspired by my policies. Some are voting tactically. Many like my record in office, working cross party to get things done. Most want decisions made by someone who can’t be nobbled by Party HQs in London. Polling shows it’s a two-horse race. There’s no danger of “splitting the vote”. So your choice is simple: me, or someone chosen by London Labour HQ?

There’s a bombshell poll showing we can win in the North East. National media is covering polling in West Mids and Tees Valley? Why aren't they talking about the North East? Perhaps it doesn’t fit their narrative of Westminster party politics. Red vs Blue. The people of the North East don’t like being told what to think. We’ve always had an independent streak. This election is about the future of our region, it’s not about tribal politics.

It’s easy to make promises in an election campaign. I think politicians should be judged on their record.

Since I was born, the curly wurly has got smaller and smaller - but the price hasn’t. The same thing has happened to our public services. We’re paying more and getting less. While the rich get richer, we get the curly wurly treatment. It’s time to put the people first.

‘Mick Lynch said “Nationally, we need to put a Labour government in to get the Tories out, but we also need a strong voice that will put the north-east first, whatever government is in power. That’s why the RMT and our north-east region is completely behind Jamie’s campaign.”’ It’s a big deal to have the backing of this union. Thanks to Mick and the @RMTunion for their continued support. My politics are simple. I believe Britain should be run in the interests of the people who do the work. 👉theguardian.com/uk-news/2024… @guardian

When young people commit to positively changing the world, there's nothing that can stop them! Great day in Newcastle campaigning with @GNDRising

He's the Labour Mayor who was driven out - because he offered a popular alternative to Tory policies. Now he's standing for the North East Mayoralty - and he shows there's an alternative. My interview with @MayorJD 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=rr7wnnbe…

I just quit Labour after 24 years. We deserve better than the race to the bottom between Labour and the Tories. Labour want you to think there's no alternative. But there is. Join it: wedeservebetter.uk/
