Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

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.

It's a terrible fact that young people abused as children may go on to abuse others when they become adults.Pedo's spread their disease as they continue their habit.

A word to the wise you don't get a peace prize for bombing fishing boats, you don't get one for putting out a red carpet for a mass murderer, you don't get a peace prize for cutting med services to the sick, you don't get one for sending armed thugs into cities. You don't get one for bombing folk.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out
