This made me laugh until I cried. You cant make it up. This is LABOUR SNOUTS in the trough at their finest - all done by BROWN. These are two press cuttings ( sites for each at the bottom. These areas are LABOUR areas - and BROWN has done NOTHING like this for the West Midlands which is suffering far more in this recession.
27 May 2009
THE Prime Minister visits Tyneside today and will be told he has to do more to free up the North East economy.
Gordon Brown will leave the region knowing its roads, airport and rail links need vital Government backing and its largest employers are still looking for banking guarantees.
North East businesses are preparing for a future which will see them benefit from the huge growth in renewable energy, with thousands of jobs predicted for Tyneside alone - but only if the Government continues to support them.
Today the PM will be asked to do all he can during the recession to find the cash regeneration bosses need to ensure the North East is in a strong position when the downturn ends.

Go-ahead for £1bn Durham Green Business Park
10:32am Wednesday 27th May 2009
UP TO 5,000 jobs could be coming to the region, after a £1bn business park was given the go-ahead.
The 76-acre Durham Green Business Park, near Bowburn, County Durham, is the project of millionaire property developer David Abrahams, best known for making donations of more than £650,000 to the Labour Party using other people’s names.
Following yesterday’s vote, Mr Abrahams hailed the scheme as a major regeneration opportunity, which would bring much-needed jobs to the area.
“It is the ideal place to put a business park and railport,”
he said. “Businesses operating from there will have access to the country’s major road and rail networks, and the county council has already put a road in, linking the part of the former east Durham coalfield.”
Durham Green Business Park will have 92,000sq metres of business space and be close to junction 61 of the A1(M).
