Offensive Artwork shown off at Prime Ministers Visit to Hartlepool being blamed on a local Labour councillor....... but was it really them or someone else ?

A row has blown out over the originator of an offensive piece of artwork which was said to have visibly criticised the conservative party.
The Prime MInister visited Hartlepool's Northern School of Film & Art this week, but was greeted with protests outside of the centre by activists
The piece of artwork was allegedly on display at the time the Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was visiting Hartlepool’s Northern film & art studios in the towns Church Street just days ago when it was announced that Hartlepool was to receive £16.5 Million Pounds worth of funding.
Following the revelation of the artwork being known, the Hartlepool Conservative Group openly claimed that the offending piece of artwork (a rosette donning the words “f**k the Tories”) was the work of De-Bruce Labour councillor Rachael Creevey who’s so far as Hartlepool Matters understands it has not made any official comment on the claims made by the tory group that currently run Hartlepool Borough Council in coalition with a number of conservative leaning independents. .
The conservatives said on their official social media page that : we ask the Leader of Labour in Hartlepool, Cllr Brenda Harrison and their Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, Councillor Jonathan Brash to discuss whether this is acceptable behaviour of one of the towns decision makers?
We also expect that if it is the case, that Councillor Creevy apologise to the people of Hartlepool, a vast number who actually voted Conservative at the last General Election.
The Hartlepool Conservative Group also went on to say that Such behaviour risks further investment in the town, at a time when we have seen Conservatives deliver £150m development funds. Conservatives are delivering after 3 years when Labour haven’t delivered for the previous 57 years.
Those are just the facts.
The people of Hartlepool know this but Labour don’t appear to like the fact that we are delivering.
Many claim the money could have been better spent elsewhere in the town than in just Church Street
Despite the £16.5 Million Pounds worth of levelling up funding going to Hartlepool, much criticism has been put on Hartlepool Councillors over where the money is being spent, with many local residents claiming that the £16.5 Million Pounds worth of levelling up funding could have been better spent in other areas of the town & not just in Church Street, which has received millions of pounds worth of funding over the last two decades.
The Hartlepool Labour Group have not yet released an official statement into the artwork supposedly created by the Labour councillor as the Conservative group allege at the time Hartlepool Matters went to publication with this report.
