Seaborne Freight and the Tax Payer’s £14 Million
The headline on BBC last night was about the activity of a company called Seaborne Freight. It has been given just shy of £14 million of a £100 million contingency plan to provide freight services in the event of a 'No Deal' Brexit. The stand out concern here appears to be that Seaborne were given the money without a tender process...oh and they don't have any ferries.

That Was Christmas TV
I don’t know if it is just me, but Christmas television seems to get less inspired every year. After a couple of days of illness followed by Christmas Day with two of us home alone before an offspring invasion, it was an ideal time to be a couch potato.
