Another one of his victims had not been so lucky.

US-UK trade agreement could trigger closure of the Vivergo Fuels plant in Hull.
The removal of #UK #tariffs on #US #ethanol as part of the new US-UK trade agreement poses a serious threat to the future of Associated British Foods’ (ABF) Vivergo bioethanol plant in #Hull. https://t.co/BQR2hJRS8T #biofuels #bioethanol #biodiesel #tariffs #Trump https://t.co/wgsYQ9NbeL
My latest for @CuriosityHull on life in a local workhouse.

Reminds me of the time when Graeme Souness signed George Weir’s ‘cousin’.
I’ve been in office for just four days, and to be completely transparent — there was nothing in place when I arrived. No team, no structure, not even the systems needed to bring people on board. We’ve got clear priorities and a strong vision, but we’re having to build
