It sounds like some of them put their children's education before any food, let alone fast food. Must've been going without shoes, electricity and soap on that budget

The answer to a child feeling bullied at a state school due to lack of wealth is to send the next child to a fee-paying private school...?

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.

Interestingly it came to my attention today that the Minister for Investment is one Poppy Gustafsson - 42 year old business woman who founded a UK tech company, went public a few years back and then recently sold for £4.2Bn in September.

Very astute hire and surprised I’m only finding this out today
