  1. This is a lot less than we wasted on giving Tory donors billions of pounds per year to stockpile asylum seekers in their empty hotels for a decade. If we’d processed them it would’ve been considerably cheaper and a % of them would be tax paying citizens by now.

  2. Sweet Tory corruption. Tory voters must feel so dumb.

  3. Still not as bad as 18bn for chagos islands..

    Seems to be a common pattern here, incompetent management of public purse. Wonder if public will ever respond to that or just keep harping on about immigration.

  4. Hate to say it but the public purse (and those who handle it) need a bit of a reset. They are consistently throwing money around at failed projects and money sinks left right and centre.

    For all the ‘its just a drop in the oceans’ about this sort of spend there are councils falling over that £100m would make a huge difference to. Not only that, these drops are all adding up.

  5. funny how the watchdog can find this so easily but not where Mone stashed billions in PPE money.

  6. Plan. Plan. Plan. Plan. Plan. Abandon plan and plan something new.
