🌺 Lewis and Jay have been putting up poppies around Tynemouth Village ahead of Remembrance Sunday.
Local Conservatives helped secure Tynemouth’s civic Remembrance ceremony, which continues to grow each year.
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday.
We will remember them.
The Politician Without a Shadow
We've created a new breed of powerful politician: the regional mayor.
They have significant budgets, extensive publicity and enormous influence. But where is the visible political opposition?
My first Substack essay explores a rather unusual gap in our democracy.

Calls for Tyneside Reform councillor to be suspended for sharing homophobic video
chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor…
ITV exposed racist and sexist comments from Reform councillors nationally.
Now North Tyneside Reform Cllr Martin Uren faces calls for suspension over a homophobic video.
The concerns are no longer just national. They’re on our doorstep.
⛴️ Shields Ferry suspended all day Sunday 25 October due to forecast strong winds and heavy rain.
🚌 Replacement buses every 30 mins between the landings via the Tyne Tunnel.
Service expected back Monday morning, 26 October.

🚨 Labour's funding shake-up leaves North Tyneside £8.3m worse off.
Council confirms annual government-controlled funding falls from £137.8m in 2026/27 to a projected £129.5m in 2028/29.
Meanwhile, council tax pressures rise.
Will Labour's Mayor challenge this?

How can Reform defend this😡
Reform UK Councillor Martin Uren, Camperdown Ward, North Tyneside has shared a video on his official Councillor Facebook page, where the commentator says "I absolutely, 100% believe that gay couples adopt children to molest them".
He captioned it: "I could write an entire essay with regards to this, the point is made".
@NTCouncilTeam and @reformparty_uk take notice.

Two weeks. Three Green councillors. Still no clear answers.
Councillors have condemned the Green Party's "Zionism is racism" motion.
Why won't North Tyneside's Green councillors do the same?
If you support it, defend it. If you oppose it, condemn it.
🏡 Great to be out in Tynemouth with Jay and the team yesterday!
Thanks to everyone who stopped for a chat. From nurdles and antisocial behaviour to the pension triple lock, roads and pavements, plenty to discuss!
👀 Look out for us in your street soon!

British sovereign territory isn’t up for negotiation.
SHOCKING: Nigel Farage admits he would hand over the Chagos Islands.
@KemiBadenoch is clear: The Chagos Islands are British, the Falkland Islands are British. There can be no negotiation.
ANTISEMITISM: WHERE DO OUR GREEN COUNCILLORS STAND?
We welcome North Tyneside's mayor condemning the Green Party's controversial Zionism motion.
Cllr Lewis Bartoli says residents deserve a clear answer from their elected representatives.
🎥 Watch his update.
🚨 HIT-AND-RUN APPEAL – CAN YOU HELP?

🚨 North Tyneside Conservatives have formally called for a vote of no confidence in Council Chair Wendy Lott following her “oh shut up” remark during the High Borrans meeting.
Lewis Bartoli: residents deserve courtesy, respect and fair, impartial chairing.
📱 North Tyneside is proposing a move to digital parking permits, phasing out paper permits and postal renewal reminders.
Lewis and Jay are pushing to ensure residents who aren’t online still have proper phone and face-to-face support.
What would make the change work for you?
