British Volt Battery Factory at Blyth in administration

Posted by Norman Dunn on January 25, 2023, 18:45:15

The giant proposed factory to produce batteries to power cars and bring thousands of jobs is in admin before they even started building work. It looks like an Australia Company have announced they are interested in it.

Recently ex Miners Union man and now a Labour Party MP for Wansbeck Council has been on the TV getting involved.I remembered from years ago how well he did from the Miners Union so I googled his name. Its poorly written but it still shows how well he did (copied and pasted from a newspaper article)

Ian Lavery received a loan of £72,500, which was later written off, from a union fund to purchase a property; with his wife kept £18,000 from an endowment policy taken out on the property; and received a series of termination payments from the union worth nearly £90,000.

He later paid back £15,000, which means he received a total of £165,387, the report from the Certification Office for Trade Unions and Employers Associations says.

I read this a few years ago, when I googled him after reading about him threatening to thump Boris Johnson many years before he was Prime Minster. How do people vote for this frightening man.

He is a piece of work but if I remember rightly Boris was trying to wind him up and it nearly worked.

Not saying its an excuse, he is an animal but Lee Anderson the Nottingham MP is as bad if not worse, he wanted to fight a critic, then he is telling everyone you can cook nutritious meals for 30pence a head whilst he is claiming around £240k a year in expenses, the man is a headcase.

M.Ps should be prevented from employing family. Also all MPs should have to publish tax returns.

Brian, in 2017 it was decided MPs could not employ family members, but those family members already working for PMs were allowed to continue. I believe after 2017, new MPs were still employing family members.

Sheila, they always seem to find a way around it, instead of saying don't do it and then the MP ignoring it do not honour the payment for the expense.

Brian, as my dear Mum used to say” ones as bad as the other”. Just reading our local Lib Dem leaflet. They say they are ending large parts of the Partnership deal with Capita., thst has cost the council millions. Whenever I complained about paying a private company to collect council tax,I was told it was saving millions. Why do we let them getaway with it.

Capita have done very well with local authorities all over the country, I don't know if it has been the same for the local authorities themselves. I would probably think not.

I would love to know who first set them up as a company and helped them get millions of tax payers cash.

Thanks John. They have certainty been able to grow the company with the help of contracts from local governments. In other words the tax payer.

I seem to recall that it was Capita who ran and managed the Congestion Charging system for Transport for London, they weren’t very good at it though.

They have been collecting our council tax for years Liz. I don’t think there has been any reduction in our council staff, if anything it has grown.
