Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

When ‘anti-trans’ events like FiLiA are allowed to take place in Brighton of all places - a city celebrated for its inclusivity and diversity - it’s a stark reminder that visibility and allyship matter more than ever.

More money in your pocket, more opportunities, fewer emissions.

I’m proud we introduced free bus travel for young people under 22 - and as of today, over 250 million free journeys have been made across Scotland.

Together with scrapping peak rail fares, we’re making your commutes cheaper.
