This should be a no-brainer: if you live in the North East vote for Jamie Driscoll to be your mayor.

Mr Driscoll has done sterling service as the metro mayor of the North of Tyne Combined Authority – to which he was elected as a Labour Party representative. He split with Labour due to political differences with that party after Keir Starmer decided to make it a right-wing, neoliberal organisation like the Tories.

As a result of these differences, he was kept off the list of Labour candidates to stand for the North East mayoralty, forcing him to become an Independent in order to seek a chance to continue the good work he’s doing.

He is now seeking election as the new North East Mayor, and it seems the only people in his way are tribal Labour voters who haven’t realised that Starmer is making fools out of them.

Mr Driscoll is by far the best candidate for the job, as Owen Jones elaborates below:

Here are links to a few of This Site’s stories about him, to remind you – or provide you with an indication – of what Mr Driscoll stands for:
