    "We took this small company because it's a start-up British business that has a credible plan." The government's decision to award a ferry contract to a firm that doesn't have any ships as part of its no-deal Brexit planning is defended by Transport Secretary Chris Grayling.pic.twitter.com/zKBLPzNHjb

        So the British Government is now a Venture Capitalist, staking the whole entire future of the UK on risky startups? Picking winners? When none of the Cabinet has any experience of early-stage company investing. No credible investor would behave like that. Not one.

        These are friends of the government helping to persuade us that leaving without a deal is credible; it's bullshit!

        Not PERSUADE us that leaving without a deal is credible. MISREPRESENTING (i.e. rigging) that its credible. Government must publish its Due Diligence on this company: management team, Business Plan and full CV pack. If UK is a Mecca for startups & investors, behave like one!

        Taking a punt on a start-up with no assets / employees / track-record isn't in or of itself a bad thing. But when it's got a derisory credit rating & you fund it to the tune of £13,800,000 that's reckless in the extreme. #FerryGate #FailingGrayling may as well set fire to £14mn.pic.twitter.com/xEc27niLDm

        Let's just state this again. Seaborne Freight, the company given the contract to run ferry services from Ramsgate, post-Brexit, appears to have website terms and conditions copied from a fast food delivery site. pic.twitter.com/xY557Rqsgn

        Replying to @Channel4News

        To ask after the terms of the contract misses the point. The problem lies with the contract award. On what criteria was it awarded? How was advertised? Who else tendered? Who scored the tenders? It is the procurement that must be questioned.

        If, as Grayling implies, they were awarded the contract because they were a new company and because they were British then I'd suggest these criteria discriminate against other operators who might otherwise have tendered. It would rule out Stena & Irish Ferries for example.

        Or perhaps they did tender, but were unsuccessful because they weren't British. This is simply illegal. @EU_Competition @derekvaughan @JillEvansMEP

        He’s basically laundering money through a relative of one of the biggest Tory donors. The money given wouldn’t even purchase half a ferry & they have no hire agreements because there’s no ferries for hire. Then what about staff & a port? - This is criminal

        No he bloody well didn't. He gave this damn company with no ferries the contract because they are donors for the bloody Tories. When are you going to be journalists who will call this govt to account for its crooked actions. Your media outlet is as bad as rest. Bloody useless.

        Oh say it ain't so? You mean Channel4News got Chris - can't get anything right - Grayling on their show and didn't ask pertinent question? Well why am I not surprised. Bunch of useless tossers.
