The Prime Minister seemed to be a bit confused during his visit to the North East after mixing up Tyneside and Teesside in a now-deleted tweet. Boris Johnson took a trip to Whitley Bay on Bank Holiday Monday to speak to locals during a pre-election visit.
He was spotted going into the Whitley Whaler chippy on Marine Avenue where he ordered a "small chips" before strolling along the promenade and was spotted chatting to walkers outside of Spanish City. He tweeted a picture of himself in Whitley Bay, but said he was in Teesside.
The Prime had also been on Teesside earlier in the day - having been to Hartlepool. The PM took a tour of the town's power station along with Hartlepool MP Jill Mortimer.
