A lawyer for Mr Barrowman said he "at no time... had any business or personal involvement with the duke".
Not a great look for Prince Andrew when a bloke at the heart of a dodgy PPE deal is worried about being linked to him.

The World Cup in 2026 should definitely be taken away from the US.

America is clearly not safe to travel to.
🇺🇸 ❌
Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here.
🇲🇽 🇨🇦 v 🇺🇸
Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.

The mess that Houchen has made of TVCA has to be dealt with
The report from auditors EY is incredibly critical of TVCA, who told them they'd put money aside to pay legal costs for a case it brought and lost (potentially £4m), but then make no mention of it in the accounts.

Hi🦀 #BenHouchen 🦀fans
Want to hear another blatant Houchen lie?
In July 2023 he told a TVCA committee that Teesworks would be almost full within 18 months.
Not one company has signed up since he said that 18 months ago
He was lying then and he's lying now 🧵
