The planning approval for a coal mine, granted by the previous Conservative govt, had been found unlawful by the High Court.
So now the mining company are using an investment treaty with Singapore to sue the current govt, with Tory MP Geoffrey Cox representing the claimants.

UK electoral reform includes voting after 16th Birthday, smart! The younger voters don't like racism, preferer fairness and equality. State educated pupils will be current on damage the conservatives did to education. Looks like the Geens, Liberals and Labour will get the majority.
