Welcome to the blog of Antoine Tinnion - the Labour Party's Parliamentary Spokesman for the Hexham constituency - the second biggest constituency by size in England.
The point of the blog is to set out my views on the major issues facing people living in the Hexham constituency and the North East on a reasonably regular basis. Hopefully you will have time to browse my postings from time to time, and will add your comments when you have something to say. Nobody -- certainly not me -- has a monopoly of insight or wisdom, so I strongly encourage anyone reading the blog to post their thoughts and observations so I can learn along the way.
Remember the 1980s/1990s?
About Me
- Antoine Tinnion
- Northumberland, United Kingdom
- I was born in Alston, Cumbria and raised in Newcastle by my mum in a single-parent family. My grandfather and both great-grandfathers on my mother's side were miners. I won a fee-assisted place to Newcastle RGS, and appreciate more than anyone the difference in life a good education makes. After school I went on to Cambridge, Oxford and Harvard Law School where I obtained a first class degree in Law, a Master degree in Economics and Politics, and a Masters degree in Law. I work as a barrister, and my wife and I have two fantastic kids, the eldest of whom was born at Hexham General Hospital. I’m the only one of the main party candidates to be North East "born and bred".
