@premnsikka.bsky.socialReposted by @frankrennie.bsky.socialCompany behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive £23m public subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance. Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.
@bestforbritain.orgReposted by @frankrennie.bsky.socialThe idea that rejoining the EU would take the UK a decade is a myth.
Finland went from application to full membership in less time than it took us to negotiate and sign a trade deal with India.

@sathnam.bsky.socialReposted by @frankrennie.bsky.socialDear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played
