The WTTC (World Travel and Tourism Council) are based in Canary Wharf, London right now. About 1,000 jobs to move but it's a reflection of the atmosphere there post brexit.
£trillions in assets have also left the City of London since brexit. No return ticket booked.

Pretty disgraceful for Mason to call Davey’s criticism Trumpian given his disastrous coverage of the Reform conference among other things. Maybe do your job better instead of shooting the messenger?
There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here?
For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

Lucy Connolly who tweeted about setting fire to hotels (later deleted) is being labelled a political prisoner by some. If I or a person of colour suggested setting fire to places where majority white people were staying or any people for that matter, would I or they be afforded such status?
