"It's laced with a good dollop of prejudice and hoping that she's going to get a few votes because of it." Actor Ian McKellen reflects on Suella Braverman's comments that being gay is not reason enough to claim asylum.

Suella Braverman is wrong. Multiculturalism isn’t the problem. But we know what the problem is… #bbcqt

Bravo Lisa Nandy MP 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Japan building revolutionary 177 mile maglev from Tokyo to Nagoya for £45bn, 90% in tunnels under mountains as part of integrated Shinkansen system… equivalent of London to Manchester (in straight line) in 40 minutes… at 310mph… jrailpass.com/blog/maglev-bu…

‘Boost our transport’ says man pictured on private jet. Who thought the optics of this were good? Extraordinary

Theft in plain sight … when is the rest of the media going to wake up to this stuff? Oh, and could they possibly show a bit of interest in the Covid Inquiry which day after day is showing up the utter catastrophe of Johnson’s Premiership with Sunak’s help?

Another perverse element of our outdated electricity system. Scotland, wales and northern England have much higher standing charges because they have lower popn density - but pay the same per unit even though they generate much more. Elec should be cheapest where it’s generated

The question all Teessiders are asking, which this report does not answer, is - how has a site which has so much potential, and which was owned by the public, ended up in the hands of two hand-picked developers for a few hundred quid, who are now making millions? #teesworks

Teesworks has generated an incredible 35% profit, akin to margin made by Michelle Mone on PPE. Simply it’s yet more Conservative cronyism and gross profiteering at the public’s expense. Public wants Nat Audit National Audit Office to investigate.

Surreal, no whiff of corruption at #Teesworks #C4News Can anyone let me know where I can buy an acre of land for £1?

There is a v long list of governance failures in the Teesworks report. It devotes 3 sentences, that I can find, to “we’ve not found corruption”. And then the rest of the 75 pages plus appendices is taken up with a rollercoaster of “but this is not how public bodies usually roll”
