The Labour government is totally ignoring the Grangemouth site in Scotland, I am regularly told.
I therefore must be hallucinating this first government backed project that will act as a catalyst for future, clean, industrial uses for the site.
The project is for Scottish biotech company MiAlgae.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Bernie’s right: if this is Trump’s “A+++ economy,” G-d help us when it hits a B. People don’t need his spin; they feel it in grocery aisles, rent bills, and college costs. When 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, that’s not strength. That’s the crisis Trump built.
