So when Harland and Wolff got into trouble "it's nothing to do with us" but now Johnson is stepping in to save Wrightbus. I suspect part of the reason is so he can snipe at Khan for not re-ordering routemasters.

BTW Very dodgy dealings brought down WB mostly, one of the owners bought land cheaply for a new megachurch (the DUP sold it to them, not businesses who would have paid more for it...) and then they ended up donating a lot of the profits to said church!
Now Ballymena already lost 2 big employers but until they buck out the owners that done this and get rid of the land rent they wanted to charge (which is the reason a buyer pulled out) don't know what realistically can be done. I would not touch it with a bargepole until that is sorted...

"Boris Johnson has said the role he envisages for NI politicians in approving an alternative to the Irish border backstop is one of the reasons why it would be "fantastic" if power-sharing was restored to Stormont."
Yeah lol, until the DUP changes their tune that ain't gonna happen.
