Many of the political commentators believe Cameron is now the Prime Minister whilst Sunak has reverted to his old position as Chancellor.

These Tories are so full of b.s. and lies the quicker the general election comes around the better. Even Cleverly in the H.O.C. says Stockton is a shit hole and then proceeds to lie that he was calling the M.P. shit.

By the way immigration figures have been increasing not decreasing as Sunak would make you believe.

I expect there already is an agenda for most to line their pockets before the inevitable comes around.

These people will look you in the eye and lie to you, never mind through the media.

To be fair- Stockton is a shithole!

it would not shock me to see cameron leading the tories into the next general election. he really cannot be any poorer option than the man who is a dwarf in every respect.

I’ll back you up there 100%…the dozey Councillors have turned a thriving High Street into what they call a performance area……got rid of the market and replaced it with a wide street full of bleak acres of pavement to accommodate the occasional bit of street theatre to entertain the uninterested masses…..and now most of the shops have gone…it’s called progress … or ….. a lesson in how to kill a high street.

at least they know how to kill a town before any lack of shoppers do. its called foreward thinking by them.

Take me back to the days when Stockton market was thriving and we had the man with his scales weighed you properly

It’s a desert…well more Arctic tundra.

Cameron it sounds so ridiculous its odds on to happen.

Think its way more plausible than Boris ever was or will be again.

You have a politician who speaks the truth about Stockton and he gets pilloried for it. Strange world.

By-passing Stockton was the best decision the people who plan by passes ever made.

Stockton self proclaimed cultural capital on NE england.
If you can step over the zombies.

All these new ideas have been planned for up to 50 years ago just like all the shiit happening now. The so called leaders and royals totally hate the people with a vengeance. WEF & WHO created to destroy the worlds population and nothing else. Creepy Gates a major player is buying up thousands of farms and leaving them to rot. Why are whales and all size fish beeching all over the world its because they are boiling parts of the sea and they have no choice but to beech. The plan is to get rid of farm animals and fish and leave us to live on insects ( WEF have stated many times that people must start living on insects ) why to you think the fcukwit (I'm a celebrity get me out of here) was produced Then the chemicals and poison water. Wish the sheeple would bloody well wake up

He shouldn’t be there, he was elected by no one.

Same and Sunak

He was elected by our erstwhile Monarch - old Charlie Boy - who gave him a Baronetsy, making him Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton.

Bouffant Hairstyles seem to be a big thing at that moment..Trump or Geert Wilders.? .which style would suit you best?

plus traffic going both sides of it when people had some common sense not to get moad down. that made it seem even more bustling as well. still stop there on the way up to the vic but its now down to just a couple of market stalls and not the rest as they are either not around anymore or have been forced to move somewhere more difficult to get to.

I had wondered what had happened to Eric after getting the boot from Pools with Div Busby, and the demise of the 3 legends (surely they're not still kicking about in the radio ether)! Think he used to live in a farmhouse at the top of Leven Bank in Yarm. I'm sure I had heard he was quite an odious individual!

Funny that about the road being busy….was staying near the Rhine and the wife and I walked down to the river and was surprised to see the express rail line was unfenced……spoke to a local lady and asked why the track was fenced off..she looked a bit puzzled and then said why would anyone be so stupid as to go near it!

build a fence and say no entry is like asking some to get over it and go in when they could not have given a toss without that being there.

You're taking out of your backside on this one Snowy. Stockton Market is still on 3 times a week (Wed, Fri, Sat) same as it always was. What's gone is a hotel that's been closed for 20 years (they built a new one) and the Castlegate Centre, a Poulson-era retail development (they knocked down two 18th Century coaching inns to build it) that was also on its last legs.The new development will open the town back up to the river Tees - and the river was the whole reason the town got built in the first place.

What makes Stockton a shithole is the alkies and drug addicts who hang around the town centre all day like a bad smell. Maybe the council should be spending more money on their rehabilitation rather than on big pavements? Assuming they're not so far gone that they're past helping.

stockton market is a shadow of what it was and if castlegate was a mistake then they are making another one by demolishing it for god knows what. a view of a river that most residents just take for granted like the sea at hartlepool.

You use it regularly do you? Stockton High Street was pedestrianised in 1995! The market is still going strong nearly 30 years later - at least the 100 or so stallholders who turn up every week must think so

So you are one of them eh. A-list celebs all sacrifice babies and drink their blood too right?

go there every time i come up the the vic for a match as there are a couple of stalls she goes to because they are far cheaper than the ones we have. it might be because i,m comparing the place to when i was a kid as it seemed to take an age going from one end of it to the other with a wider variety of what seemed to be there at the time. could be an age thing and having a rose tinted memory. compare the present market to the one in skipton i,ll give you this stockton wins hands down especially on prices and parking charges.

So much has changed though, hasn't it? When I was a kid growing up in a village in South East Durham my parents didn't have a car. My mother would take me with her on the bus when she did her shopping - she liked Stockton Market and the shops in Hartlepool (wouldn't touch Middlesbrough with a barge pole). That is definitely a bygone age
These days people from the villages are far more likely to shop at a retail park and if they fancy a day out, Stockton and Hartlepool are nowhere near the top of the list of places to visit. I'd say Stockton market is doing pretty well, all things considered.

TMS ???

Of course. None of your red United buses.

or the green Durham and District ones which mostly consisted of painted ex United oldies.
