Remember this from @JenWilliams_FT story yesterday and her thread?
Well it looks as if the entry referred to has changed over time. Remember the company in question is owned by Corney and Musgrave …not by the Teeside Corporation as claimed.
Yep. DCS Industrial (South) Ltd had only ever had 2 Directors. Musgrave and Corney. The nature of the business is not legal services but Development of Building projects.
In neither the years ending Jan 2021 or Jan 2022 did it appear to be making much money .
Even £87k should have had an impact.
And in neither year did the company have any employees at all.
Let alone lawyers. Or consultants. Unless the Directors acted as consultants. If so in what respect and how would that not be a conflict if to the Teesside Corp?
How very very curious.
To clarify my first tweet re claim that STDC was owned by Teeside Corporation…(see L) that was a reference to the claim in TeesValleyMonitor tweet (see R)
Which is what made me double check in Companies House.
I do not know one way or the other of the source of the claim

Why can’t Labour state “that re-joining would be economically desirable but cannot be pursued responsibly or practically until embraced on a cross-party basis by the Tories.”?
“ In this way, Labour could openly acknowledge the failure of Brexit whilst keeping to Tories responsible for owning it, and still limit the credibility of the accusation of seeking to undemocratically reverse Brexit.”
Keels the pressure on.
Because they won’t (haven’t the guts or the honesty) and until they do it is hard to see a way out of the decline and increasingly permanent scarring that I am finding quite frightening to watch.
Could you try this @politicshome link to @aliceolilly@instituteforgov article on the slow death of Parliamentary Scrutiny. I can’t get beyond the Privacy Statement! I’ve tried both “accept” & “more options”. I’ve even tried another browser. Stuck.
Any idea how to fix it? Maybe @instituteforgov could reproduce it on their site? Currently it links to the Politics Home Article…Still the same problem.
Do those who have experienced the same problem use Apple devices or Android?
Ali Esmahilzada is a famous musician who had fled his native Afghanistan. Latif Nasser is an American radio producer. They met a year ago and have become good friends after bonding over the delivery of a violin bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
The Taliban put an end to @ALIESMAHI hopes in Afghanistan.
His family is still there
His work colleagues are still there and suffering under the Taliban music ban and restrictions on women
He left with a couple of shirts & trousers & has had to navigate refugee status in 🇺🇸
But @latifnasser , who carried the violin to him at first could not understand why he seemed to be making it difficult to deliver the violin…not understanding his lack of resources or transport. But when they met the story unfolded & @latifnasser set up a GoFundMe raising $100k
Rishi Sunak's election agent duped voters with fake council tax demand made in his office - Mirror Online
Jesus: “Voters were sent a letter purporting to be from their local council warning that their council tax bill was going up” mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
“The letter was headed with the name and office address of Stockton Borough Council to make it look like it was an official communication from the local authority.
Some of the wording was in red so it appeared similar to a final payment demand.”
Gibbs is not just a Sunak election agent, he is also a Tory councillor.
Only at the bottom did it say in v small print that it was not a demand for money ..and that it was from the North Allerton Tory office.
In this time of war “Securing our readmission to the EU would be the single most important measure parliament could take to best ensure lasting peace within Europe. The EU would welcome us with open arms.”
Maybe not with open arms…but with …
…considerable, understandable conditionality & show of full hearted 🇬🇧 commitment.
Meanwhile the scarring : economic, social & in our standing in the world deepens.
I can’t tell you how, when travelling in France, Spain and even Portugal how striking the contrast was between the U.K. fast decline compared to the signs of structural investment and really powerful forward movement I could see as I moved from city to city.
