Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost Β£560 million far exceeding the standard Β£25 million allocation (22 times the standard Β£25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Oh look - Farage.

In the US - again. This time slagging off UK teachers. Next thing you know he’ll be there having a go at our vicars, doctors and nurses.

This man seriously, seriously dislikes Britain, doesn’t he?

This feels like a guaranteed entry into next week’s issue of Bearly Newsworthy.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or β€œpaying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

Image of BBC headline that reads "Water bills to rise further for millions after appeal"

WE are being forced to pay more for the privilege of being ripped off by water companies.

They've not invested. Instead they've taken out Β£80 billion in dividends and loaded up those companies with Β£70 billion in debt.

Now they are being allowed to hike our water bills.

New petition: Make publishing false clickbait headlines a specific offence I want the government to act against news outlets that publish false online headlines purely for clickbait. Inexperienced journalists spreading misleading stories cause real harm. I think there should be a way for the public to report this and for outlets to face fines when caught.

Israeli naval forces board pro-Palestinian flotilla 75 miles from Gaza Greta Thunberg arrested and taken into custody after six of the flotilla’s boats were boarded

The Israeli Navy has illegally boarded the Global Sumud humanitarian flotilla IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS and taken Greta Thunberg into custody.

In the spirit of the proposed peace deal, of course.

What a brave lady she is.

New petition: Introduce law to allow voters to recall local government councillors At present only MPs can be recalled by their electors in specific circumstances. There is no mechanism for voters to remove local councillors. We think there needs to be legislation covering all elected local government representatives and have unacceptable non-attendance as a reason for a recall.

In Poland authorities have captured a Russian intelligence operative carrying explosive-filled cans, drone components, and SIM cards. In Lithuania, explosives were discovered in a cemetery.

All part of a big Russian plot to commit terrorist attacks across Europe.

Richard Tice during an interview "Keir Starmer literally used the words: take up arms and go for the enemy"

What a lemon

Firstly (& most importantly) he DID NOT say that.

Secondly you can’t wang on about language you don’t like AND parade Lucy Connolly like a mascot.

Make your mind up.

The Panorama doc was disturbing. Many women, migrants, Muslims and all decent people will be wondering if the culture in the Met police is a reflection of wider society - a microcosm. A culture that has failed to accept diverse change & holds on to prejudiced power structures.Is it just the police?
