Nothing new if so, the UK has a long record of supplying arms to dodgy regimes which then comes back on UK nationals.

The UK government set a target for numbers of smart meters to be installed. It didn’t say that they needed to be working as smart meters. Nobody should be surprised by this.

There’s a thing called leasehold whereby you own the building and lease the land usually for 99 years after which it returns to the freeholder. It’s one of the reasons that the US embassy in London moved from Mayfair to Nine Elms. It was the only US embassy in the world that the US government didn’t own, the freehold belongs to the Grosvenor family (i.e. Lord Grosvenor). When the US tried to buy the freehold the Grosvenor family refused but agreed to a 999 year lease in exchange for the return of 12000 acres of Florida that was confiscated from them after the Revolutionary War - yes, they’ve been landowners for a very long time! I think the US made sure to buy the freehold of the new site at Nine Elms (they sold the remainder of the 999 year lease in Mayfair for an undisclosed sum) 😀

And across Britain, there are people who feel disillusioned, frustrated, angry, worried. Many of them have always voted Labour but feel that their party has left them,
In the words of the song, “never trust a Tory or a Tory in disguise.”
It wouldn’t surprise me if Sunak had slipped them a backhander so he could be like Thatcher.
