Anna Turley: Heseltine sacking 'frustrating' for Teesside

Redcar Labour MP Anna Turley has described Lord Heseltine's sacking 'frustrating' for Teesside.

The Tory grandee was fired as a government adviser after backing an amendment to Theresa May's Brexit Bill.

The former Cabinet minister told ITV News he had to "stand up and be counted" over Brexit - the "overarching issue of our time".

He had published a report last year on his vision for turning the Tees Valley into a 'bustling powerhouse of economic activity' after the closure of the SSI steelworks in Redcar.
