This morning, Jacob appeared on BBC Politics North alongside Labour's Kim McGuinness, to discuss the recent election results and what 'levelling up' means.
The recent election saw success for the Conservatives within the Redcar constituency, with Ben Houchen returning as Tees Valley Mayor after securing 73% of the vote.
Votes also saw Steve Turner (Conservative) elected as the new Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner and Andrea Turner (Conservative) take the role of Councillor for the Longbeck ward of New Marske.
