Sammy Wilson Has Meltdown Over Tory Post Brexit Funding Cuts!

The DUP and Sammy Wilson are not too happy that funding for NI will not come and the reason seems to be because they are refusing to join the Executive. No government no money.

In the first round of "levelling up" the lion 's share of NI's funding went to a payday loan company based in Oxford. NI MP Claire Hanna said in parliament: "Who was the biggest recipient? ... It was TieTa, an Oxford-based call centre with no ground game and no operational experience in Northern Ireland, a group that started its life as the customer service arm of a payday lending company. Its funding allocation through the predecessor fund was over twice that of the next biggest recipient, which was Ulster University.
