Aside from ties with Russia I am concerned with DWPa involvement in UK Freeports.
There are already 12 Freeports and 74 Special Economic Zones being established in England, Wales and Scotland. These will essentially be corporate fiefdoms and some cover huge swaths of land. They rely on state aid, and therefore would not have been permitted within the EU. The real reason for Brexit? Labour are continuing with this Sunak / Truss / Gove project. Is this how they think that they will make Brexit work?
These Freeports / SEZs will negatively impact workers and citizens rights, but there is no reporting of this in MSM.
