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

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

There is a better option to putting #DWP work coaches in #GP surgeries @teamlabouruk.bsky.social:
*Employ more GPs in GP surgeries*
Get waiting lists down, get people seen and treated, get them well. #Health for health's sake. #Work will follow. Not vice versa.

Absolutely, my wife is asthmatic (no NHS shot as too young), got COVID and ended up off work for 4 days and having £900 worth of NHS antivirals. I got COVID and that's £6000 lost income to the company, makes no sense

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.
