We Love Jobs Fairs

But questions need to be answered about this one?

This Friday 18^th October 2019 there’s a Jobs Fair to be held in the Wentworth Leisure Centre in Hexham.

50 top class local and national companies are hoping to recruit the staff they need and the outcome will hopefully lead to increased employment right across the Tyne Valley area.

Its being promoted by the MP for the area Parliamentary under secretary for the Department of Work and Pensions Guy Opperman.

To publicise the event a flyer has been produced in its thousands and distributed widely across Tynedale and Northumberland as well as a huge levels of twitter, blog and facebook activity to advertise this wonderful event which will open up opportunities for many people as widely as possible and as it states on the flyer the event is supported by Northumberland County Council as it should be.

But this flyer isn’t just an advert, it’s a political leaflet entitled Guy Opperman MP’s TYNEDALE JOBS FAIR the flyer contains the the MP’s political imprint promoted by his agent Gordon Stewart a County Councillor from the Prudhoe area, an ex-policeman and the political leader of Northumberland Conservatives board.

The County Council is a Tory run organisation and Councillor Stewart has been pictured with arms on the shoulders of the in-crowd of that organisation on many occasions.

The questions that arise immediately from the release of this flyer is: What is the support from the County Council, a Council who is in charge of the physical operation of elections in the Tynedale Area?

Have the County Council supported this event and of course the production of this political flyer either in kind or financially?

What role has County Councillor Gordon Stewart played in harnessing or garnering the support of Northumberland County Council for his promoted flyer on behalf of his MP?

Was advice sought from either the elections department of the County Council its Chief Executive or its legal department prior to the decision being made by the Council to support this event and its flyer?

These questions and many more need to be answered by Councillor Stewart and the County Council both fairly and honestly and not as the secret council they are does on so many occasions stay silent and sweep the matters under the carpet.
 

 

 

Government announce 'support promises removal' to organisations through an attack on refugees.

Its only been a couple of weeks since we laymen brought up the issue of the replacement for EU regional and national funding in the form of the UK shared prosperity fund and how we hoped our suspicions that Sajid Javid would claw back huge sums of money from Councils in order to finish off local democracy once and for all if we crash out of Europe would not occur.

Recently our fears were finally upheld through an article in the Guardian newspaper regarding the removal of any future support through the UK shared prosperity fund entitled: No-deal puts refugee funding at risk

The UK Government has told the Refugee Council that, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, millions of pounds of European funding to support vulnerable refugees will be lost. The Council, which was initially assured that the grants would be secure post-Brexit, said the threatened withdrawal was a “disgraceful U-turn.”

This hardening up of the Governments position shows that the supposed ending of austerity was as we always believed a sham and the halt to internal spending for one financial year by Government departments will not happen and austerity still sits in place.

If the nation crashes out of Europe which now seems to be a very likely situation the loss of employment will be immense and we will descend rapidly into recession hence the reason for the announcement of more police officers to be recruited. As the UK spins out of control the cash we should all share will be used to control the people. It looks ever more like the nation will go back in TARDISTIC time to the miners dispute only this time the Government will be fighting women who will be desperate to feed their families.
