Illustrates it all really
🧐 The other day the local Reform branch in Hull treated us to a strange AI-generated graphic, telling us how great Luke Campbell has been as mayor - but let's fact check their claims...
They claim Campbell has "built the Combined Authority organisation" - but after 12 months, it still hasn't got a chief executive
They claim he's set better transport as a priority - but they've decided they won't be able to take up their transport powers for another year, two years after Campbell was elected
They talk up their £1 million per year mayoral investment fund - but to date, only £30k of that has been given out, some of it to Campbell's own kids' football team!
So on the 7th of May, think: have you seen results from Reform's absent mayor...?
