Good Law Project report:

Karen Brost, Director of Luxe Lifestyle, a firm that bagged a £25.7m PPE contract when it had no employees & thousands of £ of debts, has been arrested on suspicion of fraud. Her husband, Tim Whyte, is also being investigated in connection with the offence.

EDF announces Hinkley Point C delay and rise in project cost The UK's Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant, which was expected to be completed in 2027 and cost up to GBP26 billion, is now unlikely to be operational before 2030, with the overall cost revised to between GBP31 to GBP34 billion (in 2015 prices), EDF has said.;
