Private Eye have been running with this story for months; good to see that the locals have picked it up.
Private eye (like with post office scandal) have been investigating this con for years. So many criminals that should be in jail, but I can see one of them ending up leader of the tories with “honest” bob jenrick at this rate
All thanks to Ben Houchen, the Teeside mayor who is has been elevated to the House of Lords.
Freeports were Sunak’s baby as Chancellor and this is the sort of thing he was after. It was all about the chance to make money through dodgy deals and lox tax rates, it was never about trying to grow the British economy post-Brexit.
