Secondary legislation on UK free zones meant ZERO Parliamentary debate, ZERO consultation with the public, and ZERO notification of the press.
This is why so many Brits have not heard of free zones, it's a corporate political coup!

"Do you know where he is now? He's in jail"
"Because he was taking bribes from Putin"
"At a time when Europe is at war with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Reform UK party leader in Wales was betraying each and every one of us"

@brianmchenry.bsky.social Brian I’m fairly new to blue sky and have been trying to message you directly but it hasn’t worked. I designed the poster and worked on As an Fhearran l have found a couple of copies if you want one.
Either next time you are in Glasgow or I can post to an address.
From available information it seems remarkably close to the figure contained in the water companies’ report a few years ago.
I wonder if Reed is going to clarify and explain how his figure has been calculated.
He could also use the opportunity to retract his false claims about Scottish Water too.
Water privatisation has been a complete and utter disaster. Reed is way out of line to claim Scottish Water (not privatised) is worse. He is either really stupid or he is yet another politician in the pockets of the greedy who are destroying our planet.
