I see similar complaints in the local media here in Blackpool. The people complaining seem to think the council (or “clowncil” as they prefer to call it) can tell businesses to open shops in the town (although there are quite a few chains and independents already).

The Intelligence and Security Committee recommended government investigate Russian Interference but, bizarrely, that hasn’t happened yet.
In totally unconnected news. Here’s the then foreign secretary after a “heavy night” partying in Italy with Evgeny Lebedev, son of ex-KGB man Alexander Lebedev

Why not promise 300,000 or 1.5 million? Those figures are as nonsensical as 150,000. If it was that easy, the last Conservative government, or even the current government, would have done it (and, no, the ECHR isn’t the problem).
