Councillor Tristan Gale, Suffolk County Council's Cabinet Member for Planning, Devolution and the Fire Service, added that it was disappointing that the exact cause couldn't be conclusively established.

Um, you know, and President Trump always jokes about, you know, "I'm, I'm three terms." He, 'cause he says that he won 2020.
Jeffrey PedersenHOST
So I point out that devilat- devolution is BS, and then I get all of these comments about, "What, you don't think the 2020 election was rigged?" It's not, it's not anything what I said.
Jeffrey PedersenHOST
Devolution and the rigged election have nothing to do with one another, okay? Devolution was a psyop started by General Flynn.
Jeffrey PedersenHOST
Um, I can't remember that guy's name that originally started at Shady Grove.
Jeffrey PedersenHOST
He was, uh, some gray-haired guy with...

Remember that guy? I can't remember his name.

Grace KneafseyGUEST
I think it'd be to talk about the IZ, but actually the kind of broader designations for this site as well, the role of the Mayo Development Corporation.
Grace KneafseyGUEST
And, you know, we are kind of a few weeks into Andy Burnham's Devo maxing and all the benefits that might come down to the West will just do that.
Grace KneafseyGUEST
So, you know, on one side, you've got a lot of benefits in the IZ that sit on the occupier side.
Grace KneafseyGUEST
IZ, investment zone.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
It wasn't in the manifesto.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
Devolution was, enhanced devolution, but local government reorganization wasn't.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
So I went to the minister, Jim McMahon, and I said, minister, can we have a referendum? Can we ask the people about their largest household bill outside of a mortgage, council tax, what they want? And the answer was, it's not part of the process.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
So we canvassed the residents of Lancashire, where I'm the leader.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
It wasn't in the, uh, in the manifesto.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
Devolution was, enhanced devolution, but local government reorganization wasn't.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
So I, I went to the minister, Jim McMahon, and I said, uh, "Minister, can we have a referendum? Can we ask the people about their largest household bill outside of a mortgage, council tax, how, what they want?" And the answer was, "It's not part of the process." So we canvassed the residents of Lancashire, where I'm the leader, and four to one, they wanted the status quo.
Stephen AtkinsonGUEST
And, and I think this is the key thing.
Brian GerrishHOST
We've got Lyndon Kemp-Koran, the leader of Kent County Council.
Brian GerrishHOST
We've got a cash-borne program director, Devolution, at the Institute of Government, because let's remember the Institute of Government is absolutely pushing this agenda as hard as it can.

Brian GerrishHOST

Seamus O'ReillyGUEST
It's so, it's incredibly serious.
Seamus O'ReillyGUEST
I mean, how do you write jokes about a parliament that has been closed for 42% of its lifespan? So, but yeah, it's called Devolved and the double meaning is absolutely intended.
Seamus O'ReillyGUEST
It's at script stage at the moment.
Seamus O'ReillyGUEST
So, you know, obviously it's been announced, so I don't mind saying it, but it could be that they say, no, thanks.
Burning BrightHOST
What it signals is fun to speculate on, your Russiagate, Russia collusion.
Burning BrightHOST
That's interesting because John Ratcliffe, as you said, is at the heart of it, or one of the key players in Devolution, theorized, and the Russia collusion narrative.
Burning BrightHOST
But it's also interesting in terms of timelines.
Burning BrightHOST
Because the other headline that came out of it, and I don't believe this headline at face value, but Bloomberg said, I'll show the headline.
