How much money has the UK Government paid Shanker Singham, the brains behind Brexit? What is Singham's role in British agri post-Brexit? Who is Shanker Singham and what is he advising on Sunak's 74 SEZs currently being set up across the UK?

@MrBoothY6 So looking after someone else’s child for a week - or 25 of them- and have to pay for the privilege? They should run a school trip. See how their stress levels are.

@AllisonPearson Disgusting-weaponising a pandemic for a political point? you are sickening. The lockdown was because the HOSPITALS were getting overwhelmed- don’t rewrite history. why? because Cons have underfunded since 2010 to privatise. Get your facts right

@SueSuezep I had no idea about what SEZs, Freeports, and charter cities were until around 2018, when I started digging into the real reasons behind Brexit. I wondered what the Tories meant exactly by Singapore-On-Thames, I found out about Shanker Singham's advising the Tories about

@SuellaBraverman 2/2. I worked in cyber/electronic publishing more than 10 years ago and this would have been a sackable offence. So as Home secretary this is even. more serious. The content of the docs are irrelevant. it calls into question your suitability and judgement. In addition to Manston.

@josiahmortimer surely it’s “more” illegal for her to be carrying on with the casework she she doesn’t have the office to do it? Isn’t it like a redundant teacher carrying on teaching a class or a previous clinician treating someone when they re not insured or paid to do so.

Never forget that between 2010-2018 £340,000 per year of tax payers money funded the ERG. Each Tory MP that paid £2000 subscription fee claimed that back on expenses. Information on ERG research was never made public, Rees-Mogg's staff denied he was even a member. #BrexitLies
