I recall this policy being slagged off like no-ones business by the Labour party in opposition yet now it's a different story and recieving the backing of a Labour govt. Would be nice to see some honesty from all concerned

It’s certainly a strange one. I suppose the devil is in the details.

It is, and I'm surprised there's been no further comments about the hypocrisy

Apparently they are working well despite what the Labour party claimed when in opposition. Of course they are not the first to backtrack on this. The SNP were also dead set against them but all of a sudden wanted some of their own once the ones in the rest of the UK started.

The Freeports are a great incentive for business that want to import and keep costs down initially, or want to import and export directly in and out of foreign markets.

Good job today's government did not make the decision on if to have them or not. Looks like humble pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner as they now plan 5 more of the ports they were so against. The BBC article finishes by saying that freeports in the UK have attracted £2.9bn of investment and created an estimated 6,000 jobs.

I believe the issue was the apparent corruption at the Teeside Freeport that Labour were shouting about.

I think the thread is more on the fact that Labour rubbished the idea of Freeports when they were announced by the previous clowns. Now it's been shown that they are a success, they are introducing new ones

The only one I remember being debated in parliament was the Teeside one. For that reason I can’t comment. I suppose I could believe every claim on here as true but probably best not to.

There was some debate or concern over Teesside which if memory serves was something to do with the Mayor as well. That was after they had been introduced officially. However when the Freeport idea was first announced by the previous clowns, Labour rubbished the idea, which has turned out to be a success. Now they have done a 180 on the idea

Well if that is true surely that's a good thing. Maybe grown up politics has returned. Meanwhile one of the candidates for the Tory leadership is busy finding immigrants in pensioners bedrooms.

It is a good thing that they now realise that they were completely wrong on this issue and have embraced them. If the alleged grown ups had their way when these were first proposed, then they would not exist today. Thankfully they did not get their way and now see the benifits

The tories voted against the minimum wage claiming it would damage employment,now they support it .

I’d rather a government act on evidence than on ideology but I get it that politics is tribal and those who didn’t vote for labour are going to spend the next 5 years complaining, just like those who didn’t for the Tories did for the last 14 years.

That's true and if there was a thread on the Tories and minimum wage I would be as critical. I have criticised both parties and it decided long ago that I would not vote conservative this time around due to the cock ups and lining their own pockets. However that's not the subject matter here

Who says you have to agree with the OP? It certainly wasn't me as you will see above. I was commenting on your post about minimum wage and how I would, and have been equally critical of the Tories to the point I stopped voting for them. At the end I mentioned that it was not the subject matter as the subject is freeports, not minimum wage.
