Maybe they got asked what they wanted under their name?

In this opinion article, published in today’s @PracticalLawUK, I look into the reasons why there’s been so few cases, but also what can be learned from the Competition Appeal Tribunal decisions so far.

MPs were told that there would be around 23 cases each year.

On that basis they agreed a Subsidy Control regime based on private enforcement within a short challenge window.

The reality is that 1,000 days in there’s been 2 cases decided with 2 more being considered soon.

When the regime was being designed Boris Johnson’s government rejected the opportunity to have a regulator with powers to investigate and act when there are concerns about a breach of the Subsidy Control Act.

Instead the regime relies upon private enforcement actions.

But the problem is that it’s true - so you’re only convincing those who had the ability to see through the 💩 in 2016.

Gosh.

So far this is all I’ve seen - but it would be great for the region.

This will be turned into an excuse for violence against others.

Reform fear Andy Burnham because he has a proven track record of growing the economy in Greater Manchester through astute investment.

This is her Deputy Prime Minister pitch and it has been described as ‘continuity Rayner’.

I think that will resonate with Labour Party members, but I do wonder whether she will win new voters for the party.

The way to drain support for Reform is to point out that they’re no different to other politicians.

In this case, Tice was outraged about Rayner’s tax affairs but doesn’t think the same standards should apply to Farage.

Were they dividing the spoils of Brexit?

After all, without Brexit, EU State aid laws would have hindered swathes of government data (inc NHS) being gifted to this company, whilst EU public procurement rules were supposed to control the award of lucrative contracts.

A picture paints a thousand words.

If proved to be genuine then his second administration looks set to sour like his first.

This is the bigger story. From the article it sounds like the meeting is arranged because of the donation.
