Also interesting how Caroline Lucas highlighted Farage held a press conference to present his new team emphasising how Reform isn't all just about him and they were asked 25 questions. Farage answered them all! So much for a team! He just can't help himself - micro management in action!

Peter Mandelson’s influence on Keir Starmer’s Labour was so pervasive that he was involved in the secret spreadsheet for selecting Labour candidates in the 2024 general election. But he wasn’t the only corporate lobbyist who helped choose Labour MPs.

Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.

tRump tripped over his own ignorance, blaming Gov. Wes Moore (MD) for something Moore has no control over. It’s tRump’s own EPA that has regulatory authority over the DC Water-owned pipe that burst & spilled millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River last month. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Trump’s latest offensive against Maryland’s Wes Moore comes with a clear subtext
The more the president fixates on the Democratic governor, the more it seems he’s scared of Moore’s political potential.

Alarming new analysis by Aviva has highlighted how one in nine new homes in England built between 2022 and 2024 were constructed in areas at risk of flooding. This is why we need real climate adaptation and resilience strategies.

Excellent article by Leigh Jones on the great work being done by the Tees Estuary Restoration Initiative (TERI) down by the mouth of river.

Thanks again. I just tried to find comparisons of wealth generation between recently created freeport zone and the old Portsmouth. There's so much hype on the Web, from gov announcements to commercial property agents, it's going to be hard proving my conspiracy theory 🤔

Yes, thanks. I'm trying to find something positive on SEZs to present to a U3A discussion group. I think Teesside should be renamed the 'flagship of what not to do'. In your researches, have you come across any success stories in any other UK 'freezones'?

I've just skimmed this and wonder how those old ". . . thirsty steel and chemical works . . ." will compare with the easily overheated AI centres. It seems Trump may be deregulating the fossil fuel industry to accommodate the energy AI needs . . . and then they'll drain the reservoirs for coolant 🤬

Thanks for your reply - and I forgot to thank you for posting the Houchen update. Has there been any improvement in Teesside which could be counted as success from the initial Gove 'Levelling-up' scheme and beyond? Or is everything just waiting on the AI Growth Zone myth? 🤔

Tory party rules mean you have to be an MP to be leader.

Not impossible but a very unlikely path for Houchen!

Okay, as the Teesside legacy media continues to ignore the complete meltdown at Ben Houchen's SeAH factory, a handful of local independent journalists are determined to get the story out.

Here's a good example:

Rubio on Russia: "We don’t know whether the Russians are serious about ending the war.
They say they are."

Russians say many things. For example, they said they were not going to invade Ukraine—right before invading Ukraine. It’s actions that matter.
