North Northumberland, Cramlington & Killingworth and Blyth Valley voters could have had Thom Campion as their Liberal Democrat MP ⚠️

This wasn’t a fringe activist. He was a Liberal Democrat councillor, parliamentary candidate and employee who was repeatedly promoted by the party as part of its future leadership 🏛️

📍 2019 – Selected by the Liberal Democrats as their parliamentary candidate for Blyth Valley

⚠️ 2021 – Forced to apologise after historic sexist and abusive social media posts resurfaced

🗳️ 2021 – Elected as a Liberal Democrat councillor for Newcastle City Council

🔶 2023 – Selected by the Liberal Democrats as their parliamentary candidate for Berwick-upon-Tweed

🔄 2023 – Switched to become the Liberal Democrat candidate for Cramlington & Killingworth

📢 2024 – Runs the Liberal Democrat campaign for the North East Mayor

Mr Campion was forced to apologise after historic sexist and abusive social media posts resurfaced. He said those comments did not reflect his views and the Liberal Democrats continued to back him. He was only suspended from the Party in 2024 after a complaint was lodged against him📱

Now, after a court case in which the judge rejected his account of events, Mr Campion has been found guilty of sexual assault ⚖️

The court heard evidence that he lured a woman upstairs to see a “cute teddy bear” before sexually assaulting her. The judge concluded that the sexual acts took place without her consent 🚨

Why did the Liberal Democrat’s continue to select, promote and put Mr Campion before voters as a potential Member of Parliament in Northumberland?

Zack Polanski is publicly backing the release of Marwan Barghouti, a man convicted over terrorist attacks that killed civilians 🚩

The victims are dead. Their families live with it forever 💔

Anyone who thinks this is acceptable has no business leading a political party ❌

“This funding shows what happens when Labour works together, with a Labour council, Labour MPs and a Labour Government all pulling in the same direction.” 🥀

That’s how Labour celebrated fast-tracking Churchill Community College for a rebuild. Meanwhile, Northumberland’s requests for a meeting about Berwick Academy funding have been refused 🤔

If Labour can find flexibility for North Tyneside before the next School Rebuilding Programme selections in 2027, why won’t they even sit down and discuss options for Berwick? 🚸

Berwick’s children deserve the same commitment and the same urgency 🏫

The council has been lobbying for a contribution to the construction of the new Berwick Academy

JOE MORRIS CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

🚧 Joe Morris now says road safety on Northumberland’s roads must be a priority.

We agree.

That’s why people are asking one simple question:

Why did he support a Budget that cancelled the A1 dualling scheme in his constituency?

✅ Approved in 2024
✅ Years of planning and consultation
✅ Designed to tackle one of the region’s most notorious single-carriageway bottlenecks

Then Labour’s Budget cancelled it, with the Government claiming it did not offer value for money.

If safety is the priority Joe, why scrap the biggest road improvement project Northumberland has seen in decades?

❗ Dangerous stretches remain
❗ Congestion continues
❗ Lives are lost

If road safety matters today, why didn’t it matter when the decision was made to cancel the dualling scheme?
