Well well well @peter_levy I spent 5 years trying to @SaveScampton and wanted to buy it for a living working museum. Have you seen this? Now what? they were my rivals...

@LeanneBrownBBC mmmmm after all this time.. all the efforts for 5 years to save it and make it a living working museum as a Trust not for profit!!!

It's madness that the Home Office are putting Scampton on the open market when we have a funded regeneration plan ready to go. They're just trying to cover their tracks because they wasted £64 million and three years trying to house migrants there. edwardleigh.org.uk/news/sir-…

What about the £60M spent so far, that could have been used to convert it into a historic site of importance and as living working museum instead of being sold off no doubt for a pittance for commercial use.

I’ve done as I promised. From the day the Conservative govt announced their intentions for Scampton, I’ve fought their disastrous scheme. Excellent news for Lincoln and Lincolnshire today. Please watch 👇
