AstraZeneca?

That was announced in March, under the Tories:


Now on hold due to lack of concrete support from the Labour government:

Ah. I thought I heard it was going ahead. I guess I misunderstood.

Easy to forget LD's have 25 times more MP's than Reform, yet our insane media give Reform 25 times more coverage.
I think it is more because labour have become hated in record time and starmer has back tracked on every promise he made

The way peoples attitudes to this labour government seem to be falling through the floor at a velocity that challenges Issac Newtons gravitational pull, Labour is helping Reform more than we know.

After the disaster of the untrustworthy Tory governments, the vagaries and unknown policies of super clown Ed Daveys party, it was vital that Labour proved to be trustworthy and that they kept their promises. It was probably last chance saloon to stop the march of the extremists and to keep them away from reaching significant strength in Parliament.

My gran has voted for Labour for years, and she is very unhappy with them, she is a Waspi and she said Sir Keir and the lady i thought was nice Yvette, have both betrayed her and many others. I am starting to have real fears about who i voted for. Fingers crossed he will sort out all this mess by Easter.
Your gran is a Waspi...? How old are you then?

Paging @Guinness Boy for no particular reason...

You think that Reform are given more air time than the Liberal Democrats because of Labour? Am I understanding that correctly?

Anyway, they promised the workers rights bill, nationalised green industry, rail reform all of which are happening right now.

Maths not your strong suit? You had plenty of time to count on your fingers and toes while your message was bouncing off that hooky server in Romania........

I'm in my 40s, at the younger end of the population of this forum.

Someone on here who is two generations away from a 73 year-old is, let's say, noteworthy.
My gran and my mum both gave birth when they were very young, i have decided not to follow the trend. I like the practicing stage, does this make me a youngster on here then?

You're certainly the fastest traveller we have.

Today you've posted from Germany, Denmark, Holland and Romania.

Are you on a scouting mission for Father Christmas?

Ah. I thought I heard it was going ahead. I guess I misunderstood.
My point wasn't really the stalling, just correcting that it was a recent post-Reeves-budget decision and announcement.

Anyway, hopefully, it does still happen. It's not unusual for a large corporate to play hardball in order to get as much government help as they can.

And, it's in the government's interest to make it happen too, allowing them to announce that they've worked hard to make another large-scale investment come to fruition, bringing economic regeneration and employment.

Just spoke to my gran earlier, she is part of a waspi's group, she think they are planning something big. I have never seen her like this before. Its mad why Keir had even signed a pledge or something according to gran and now gone against it. She said she won't vote for the main two parties at all next time. I have to keep her calm at the moment.
