Yesterday, Michael Gove attacked Middlesbrough's Labour councillors for voting against the transfer of our town's assets to an unelected board appointed by the Tees Valley Mayor. Councillors were not elected to give our town away.

@michaelgove Sunak's Freeports mask private investors and stakeholders from 'Governance Consultancy' companies like Locus Economica who are heavily invested in SEZ/charter/refugee cities. Local councils are undergoing engineered insolvency as they're merged into CCAs🧵

@michaelgove Astonishing that this should have got this far... why would any honest person think it was a good thing to give away council assets to a private entity?! I bet such a transfer of assets was not publicised when the Freeport concept was first offered

@TheWisdomHub @michaelgove Well done Councillors. Anything to do with Ben Houchen and the Teesside 'freeport' is corrupt. Laundering public money for private gain.

@michaelgove Well done to these cllrs!

@brexit_sham @michaelgove Hear hear well said and well pointed out.......perhaps questions need asking about the justification gove is putting forward. ..? Follow the money here would be a phrase that springs to mind..?

@CarlEckett @michaelgove Hang in there and fight this folks!!! Make this the line in the sand that the current government cannot pass. I.e the democratic process of this country!

@michaelgove Splitting the country into small sections to be owned by Venture Capitalists, Hedge Funds & the like has been the ethos of the people behind the Tufton Street Gang both here & the USA (Triage League also) for some 18rys no central Gov, that's why this is happening to get it ready

@michaelgove They said The EU is not democratic and yet they want to do this - such hypocrisy 😡

@michaelgove You should demand a judicial review of the process.
