Mr Grayling said: "While it is disappointing that Eurotunnel chose to take legal action on contracts in place to ensure the smooth supply of vital medicines, I am pleased that this agreement will ensure the Channel Tunnel is ready for a post-Brexit world."
HTF can he even try to shift the blame, this prick need euthanizing for the good of humanity.
The deal was subsequently scrapped by the government last month after its financial backer Arklow Shipping pulled out.If you read this and the got statement it looks like they are passing off the £33m as an investment - you'd think that they were planning to give them £33m anyway and the Seabourne Freight fiasco had sod all to do with the money.

Again with this, despite Arklow being quite clear that they'd never committed to anything and to the best of their knowledge had never been more than one of a number of companies contacted to gauge interest in a deal.

Yeah tbf looks more like Seaborne being dishonest in the bid and the Tories/Grayling being too incompetent to do any due diligence, to even the extent of checking third party commitments.Thing is I wouldn't even accuse the government of lying.............I mean its a Grayling plan and this fucked up Government - they aren't being devious they are just demonstrating their incompetence
Hi Chris, why have you had to blow £33M on a payment to Eurotunnel?
Need to know mate.
