"But documents seen by the Eye through an inspection of accounts under local government audit laws prove this is nonsense. Contrary to Houchen's claim, Teesworks Ltd hasn't borrowed the money and has no obligation to make the repayment."

The Albanian airport Ben Houchen claims paid for the business trip he undertook in 2022 has denied paying for the visit.

The airport contacted me and asked The Yorkshire Post to issue a correction "Because it is not true and secondly, because this damages our image as an airport and also our reputation".

RT Tees Valley Monitor #BenHouchen
The last time was in January in response to an op-ed #SimonClarkeMP wrote in the Times to 're-establish the facts about the #Teesside Freeport'. He was angry that day too:

Simon Clarke MP Sees Red over Marine Die-off Claims

Simon Clarke MP is angry about the coverage being given to those who are campaigning to have capital dredging in the Tees stopped. He uses a comment piece in The Times to demonise those he sees as the opponents of the free port development, omitting a number of key facts in the process, while distorting others.

@privateeyenews continues to expose that darling of the #Tory party and Doge of #Teesside #BenHouchen, who is allegedly wading deep in the contaminated estuary sludge of corruption.
