Is Jim the new John DeLorean? I hope on behalf of the taxpayer, the government, does a better job of protecting our investment than Thatcher’s mob did leading up the DMC’s liquidation in 1982. Have we seen why Ratcliffe won’t risk his own money?

How long before the Daily Star livestreams a sandwich going past its used-by date?
