This week it came out that Teesworks' only tenant has lost its biggest contract because it can't supply it.

I look into what's happened, as well as the reaction to it from the Tees Valley mayor, Ben Houchen.
How SeAH Wind's biggest order was cancelled and why it's important
The only tenant on Teesworks appears to be facing a storm brewing as chief exec replaced and production delayed

Controversy & accusations of cheating in the world's slowest & most gentile sport. Brilliant

My wife just walked in to hear the commentator say "The double touching of the Canadians is a concern" and gave me a WTF? look 🤣

For the four people who used our guide to building a DIY Epstein search engine:

it's now expanded with an AI "agentic" UI, where you ask a question & it does a bunch of research, and comes back with a response, linking to documents.

Fun video of Sheff U v #Boro from American YouTuber Jake Barford (BFordLancer) trying to watch 21 matches in 21 days. Includes a brief interview with Aidan Morris at the end. He's also donating $100 to charity for every goal he sees. Good luck to the lad. #UTB @mfc.co.uk

Labour failing miserably to read the room as MPs look after their own interests rather than those of the constituents they represent.

Simply, wrong decision.

The Championship is just mental. Yeah, #Boro are reaping the rewards of this craziness right now, but blimey.

So, as if playing Wilder's bunch wasn't a big enough incentive, we could make a real statement.

@thetimes.com casually condoning racism. So, that's where we are right now.
Hey @thetimes.com what is ’racism’ - surely depicting the Obamas as monkeys is just old fashioned racism?

The Times is a disgrace. There is no doubt here. Absolutely no need to put the word *racism* in inverted commas. Say it as it is. Make racism shameful again. Pariah status for all who peddle it, lie about it and excuse it.

The reason I know the UK is still a democracy worth fighting for, no matter what Musk, Farage, Robinson, Vance et al say...

If a leader of the UK, from any party, (re)posted such a wildly racist thing as Trump did earlier, they'd be kicked out on the kerb immediately.

America is beyond broken.

Farage’s inner circle - all of them had direct contact with Epstein’s confidant, Bannon, or with Epstein himself.
Do media hacks call for Farage to get the fuck out of UK politics?

"It also links Farage to one of the most controversial figures in modern American politics"
If we want to start highlighting dodgy links and shady practices, lets start with Farage and Manafort. Our MSM stays silent as usual when Farage is involved.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.

Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.

And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.

Always follow the money.

@FIFA isn't fit for purpose. Between years of corruption, fans fleeced at every turn, human rights abuses ignored, players rights ignored to rake in cash and Infantino buddying up to despotic regimes like Russia and the US, they are little more than mafia ring.

The more you hear about Andrew and Fergie, the more you realise what horrific people they are.

I can't get my head around her renting a place that costs £20k a month... not actually having £20k... And just calling her pedo best mate.

Meanwhile normal people are declined a mortgage they can afford
