I’m sure the biggest majority owned is a Canadian white person pension fund. Why go with China and Abu Dhabi?

Why indeed? Bloody foreigners coming over here, leeching out money from our water, our rain, our rivers ….

The AD Wealth Fund subsidiary and the Chinese entity own c9% each

Notwithstanding that one third of the business is owned by Canadian Pension Plan look at the % for the UK pension scheme for academics.

That would make a better headline but they’re clearly not Jonny foreigner.

What a fucking shitshow (literally)

Head of the Army quits over the state of vehicle procurement - describes decades old fleet as a rotary dial up phone in an iPhone age. I know the garage where we get our cars looked after took on an ex-squaddies diesel fitter last year but had to let him go as his knowledge was a decade out of date - he was used to working on older vehicles and they didn't have the time nor resources to teach him from scratch. Tories eh? Good with money and patriots to their cores.

The general is pointing out the repeated failings of the Tories - wanna save money? Cut the Army numbers but keep those nice big shiny new naval ships. Got a problem - we need to deploy the army - what do you mean its just 2 blokes and a regimental goat? The outdated vehicles is a modern trait - remember 20 years ago when troops were sent into Afghanistan to use snatch land rovers of Northern Ireland vintage that were modified to combat IED's by painting them in desertcam colours? If only the Generals then had the bollocks to say no rather than accept a fait accompli that saw lads killed

George Eustace explains how Brexit puts up food costs without migrants to pick and pack food.

"These shortages, caused by not having enough migrant workers, were 'exacerbating' the rate of inflation by contributing to higher food prices, along with rising energy costs, he argued."

Btw, did you highlight that section (wondering how you share that)?

One article claims Sue Ellen has said she wants UK citizens trained to pick fruit. I don't know how much training is actually required but George Eustace said it's a skilled job.
However it appears locals aren't willing to work hard and live in dodgy accommodation (in some cases) away from their families. Fruit farms are often remote with bugger all public transport. I'm sure Norman Tebbitt would tell them to get on their bikes.

I remember them well and it’s good to see somebody opening this up instead of staying stum. The inadequacies of the Tory reign are there for all to see, wanting more of it must surely only be for those few who are actually making money from their policies.

I think it was highlighted because I knew what I was looking for and searched "eustace migrant inflation" and it went straight to the BBC site with it highlighted.
