The new staircase / ramp at North Shields isn't softening quite yet.
Still dominated by the engineering, the sheet piled, the guard rail and the lights.

So why not "level things up" by the introduction of an internet sales or delivery tax, to remove the price advantage?
Temu’s EU operations doubled pre-tax profits to $120m (£90m), employed just 8 people, $18m corporation tax,
It is smoke and mirrors of profit shifting, offshore tax havens.
UK High street can't compete.
Govt must review customs duty exemptions, require multinationals to show where they pay taxes.

Brexit is the biggest self-harm. UK economy hasn't recovered.
Farage, the part-time MP, collects millions from 2nd/3rd jobs, full time MP pay+exps; often missing from the Commons.
Pushes hatred to grab power.
