The Zone They Didn’t Tell You About How a 616-acre corporate enclave was quietly built in Somerset, and why the Guardian’s coverage of the Agratas gigafactory grant tells only half the story. On Thursday 9 April 2026, The Guardian reported that the UK government is giving £380 million to Tata’s Agratas gigafactory in Bridgwater, Somerset. Business Secretary Peter Kyle visited the construction site. The public is being made to fund, through a £380 million direct grant, through Enterprise Zone tax reliefs, through ringfenced business rates, through planning derogations, through a 25-year governance architecture created without their knowledge or consent, the production of vehicles that the vast majority of them will never be able to afford. The green transition is real. The strategic case for domestic battery manufacturing is real. But the class structure of who bears the cost and who captures the product is not incidental to the policy. It is the policy. The batteries being manufactured at the Agratas plant in Bridgwater will supply Jaguar Land Rover. The vehicles they will power have an average transaction price of £136,000. They are not the cars of the construction workers building the factory, or the workers who will eventually staff it. They are luxury commodities for the global wealthy, the same class fraction that the broligarchy serves, that the attention economy extracts from, and that zone-based industrial policy has always, beneath its levelling-up language, most reliably delivered for. Statutory Instruments (secondary legislation) used for the rollout were not debated in Parliament, there was zero consultation with the public, and zero notification of the press. I write about the nationwide spread of deregulated free zones that are stealthily corporatising the Commons. Zone Fever was set up by the Tories and fully backed by Labour right after Brexit.

Le projet de loi Yadan est liberticide: sous le couvert de combattre l’antisemitisme, il interdit de critiquer les politiques de l’Eat d’Israel: Un etat qui se rend coupable de violations repetees du droit international, comme l’a reconnu avec une majorite ecrasante l’Assemblee Generale des Nations Unies un Etat apartheid et un Etat qui occupe des territoires que le droit international considere comme Palestinien, comme la Cour Internationale de Justice l’a repetee plusieurs fois un Etat coupable d’attaques indiscriminees et disroportionees contre les civils Libanais, comme viennent de le reconnaitre la plupart des leaders Europeens dont la France. Un Etat dont le Premier Ministre fait l’objet de poursuites judiciaires par la Cour Penale Internationale pour crimes contre l’humanite Un Etat genocidaire selon Amnesty et une grande majorite des juristes en droit international, des experts des genocides, des organisations de defense des droits humains et humanitaires. La loi Yadan, si elle est adopee, fairait de ce messge un crime. Le crime de la verite. L’antisemitisme augmente en France et il doit être combattu avec fermeté. Mais la proposition de loi Yadan ne protège pas les personnes juives. Sous couvert de lutter contre « les formes renouvelées de l’antisémitisme », elle assimile toutes critiques de l’Etat d’Israel à de l’antisémitisme. Elle criminalise les expressions legitimes pour défendre les droits des Palestinien.nes. Le texte sera débattu les 16 et 17 avril prochains à l’Assemblée nationale. Ensemble, disons NON À LA LOI YADAN !
