FFS: Bozo has nominated Benjamin Houchen for a peerage. For anybody who has followed coverage of the Teeside freeport in Private Eye and the FT this is genuinely shocking.

For a third time the #Tory mayor of Tees Valley has been caught (this time via leak to FT) transferring public property to the development corporation he chairs without any scrutiny of the transfer lists or agreements.
Already there is an investigation being launched but given the prospective use by the #privatesector through the development corp., this (at the moment) looks a lot like a corrupt theft of publicly funded assets;
more #Torycorruption?

Janie’s delight at at the family seaside day out is tempered by Emma’s increasingly unkind behaviour. This week Janie takes us to Cleepthorpes, then as now, probably the nearest bit of sandcastle sand to Sheffield. Absolutely love putting this episode together. Link: https://mylovelettertimemachine.buzzsprout.com/ (you should prob unfollow me if you don't want me bleating on about the pod).

the Woodsmith mine project (drilling down to secure deposits of #polyhalite - a new mineral #fertilizer yet to be approved for commercial sale - continues to suck money in & take longer than #AngloAmerican (who rescued the project three years ago) expected... if you were hoping for a mining boom (with major #infrastructure construction) near #Teeside, you'll be waiting a little longer... although for those fearing its #environmental impact that may be a blessing!
