What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

In the case of Tata's new plant, the UK's expected success has not been easily or cheaply won.

The government has said that while it does not recognise a figure of £500m in reported subsidies, they concede that it is in the hundreds of millions of pounds.

‘Although the price tag will be seen as high, the UK is reluctantly involved in an international subsidy war which has been dramatically escalated by the US Inflation Reduction Act - a piece of legislation offering $370bn (£299m) in sweeteners to companies prepared to locate production and supply chains in the US. 
The EU is preparing its own packe in response’

edit. The billion million mistake is the BBC. I copied and pasted.

Rumours in renewable circles put the figure close to a Billion.

but it’s a start. 😁

The UK desperately needs something like this to happen, if this falls through, then you do have to worry about automotive manufacturing here in the UK long term. We're massively lagging behind the rest of the world in Battery plant investment

Some positive news at least, hope it comes to fruition. The location is interesting, I would have thought land and wage costs would be quite high there, even if the town itself looked a bit of a shithole when I drove through a few years back.

Perhaps they wanted to be relatively close to that TVR factory that Miami got so excited about a few years ago 😀

Only a year to wait until their rolling off the production line: 2024 TVR Griffith EV confirmed for production | CarExpert

They'd have to re-employ all the now taxi drivers and coke dealers they laid off round ere years ago.

Scraps off the table. Is this the bold new future that many bought into?

It's more tragic that they cling onto things that we'd normally just have.

But as we know, they will never, ever admit the futility of this. So, let's just let them burn out and younger folks will build a future regardless.

Didn’t you know this happened as a direct result of Brexit, Sonny?

Quality.

Here is a funny scenario, Boris is having is legal fees for the Covid enquiry paid by the Govt.

This mean technically it is the Cabinet office that are the clients and his lawyers have to pass over all material they to their clients 

Those documents apparently contain diary entries that show good old Boris held parties for friends at Chequers during lockdown. If the cabinet office think these parties broke Covid rules they are obliged to pass them into the Police.

Beginning to wind me up now.

How come we - the British taxpayers - are footing the bill for Johnson’s lawyers?

Are we funding the defence of all dodgy MPs like that Tory kiddie fiddler or just Johnson?

If not, why does Johnson - a lowly MP - get special treatment?

He’s already blown a quarter of a million of our money and then sacked them off because he didn’t like their attitude and now he’s handpicking lackeys who we’re also expected to pay for.

Bad enough having folk hide/redact the incriminating evidence but to have us pay for it?

F****** outrageous IMO.

DRAIN THE SWAMP…..

Bollocks. Recycling this stuff is purely political. Probably Sunak trying to make sure that Boris can't be a challenge at a future juncture.

Sunak was a big mistake. He'll be gone after Sir Proletariat wins the next GE. They should get rid now - even if it does have certain WWayers and the BBC howling about navel gazing.

I was asking a simple enough question mate I.e. why does the privileged fat fop not have to pay for his own lawyers? Made a personal fortune out of us already so it’s not as if he’s so skint as to qualify for legal aid is it?

Hardly recycling as it was only yesterday that he - or rather, we - had to pay off the ones he discarded. 
 

As for recycling it’s the Tories who keep polishing the turd instead of flushing him and moving on.

There should be a proper enquiry nothing should be redacted. Sending old folk back to care homes with covid and the PPE scandal where contracts given to Tory cronies are the 2 areas I’d like to see explored in detail… not arsed about whether there were parties etc at Downing Street, get the detail on the aforementioned examined and that’s where any wrong doing will come to light…. I’d like to see charges pressed for any serious misdemeanours.

That’s how it is, just because you hate the Tories you can’t just change the rules.

I’m not asking to change the rules - I’m asking what are the rules that allow this to happen?

Because at the time he was the PM in public office and conducting government  business and therefore qualifies for legal aid.
