And as he steps down as Prime Minister, it’s time to look back on his high-profile visits to our part of the world.
It was last year when the PM was at Pools and had a few shots as well as a bout of ball juggling.
That was in April 2021 and he combined it with a visit to the award-winning Hart Biologicals, which has previously been chosen as the Business of the Year at the Hartlepool Business of the Year.
He also visited Hartlepool in May last year to celebrate a Tory by-election victory.
He has met locals too but were you among them? Join us as we look at Boris’s visits to Hartlepool.
