I reckon out of that 1.1 trillion, they could spend about ten billion on essentail stuff, and let us keep the rest.
She hasn't heard about HS2, then?

Yet another jawdropping total lack of concern about our money.
Bucko - a huge number of people would have to find a proper job though. It's like the old joke about asking directions - "I wouldn't start from here."
Jannie - she probably counts that as a success, like windmills, EVs and the envy of the world NHS.
Doonhamer - yes he's trouble, a fanatic who shouldn't be there.
James - yes they are determined to extract more and not a trivial amount.
I don't know if it's true, but I heard that the numbers of illegal would-be migrants on the other side of the Channel is increasing because nice Sir Keir has scrapped the scheme. So maybe Rwanda was working, or at least about to work. But everything becomes a waste of money if you stop doing it and do the reverse. We'll see about Net Zero quite soon, I suspect. And, depending on the levels of public resistance, we'll probably see whether mass immigration was money well spent, too.
"a huge number of people would have to find a proper job though"
Fine by me
‘most shocking waste of taxpayer money ever' says the shrew who witnessed HMG's response to Covid and probably voted for it too.
Sam - I think Rwanda was a smart idea in that it could have created a significant disincentive for illegal migration. Maybe it was beginning to work, but Sir Keir clearly doesn't want that to become apparent.
Bucko - the irony is that many could find working life more rewarding once the shock subsides.
dearieme - yes, a dishonest two-faced shrew who will never be anything else.
It would have been cheaper to buy up every spare dinghy, boat, inflatable mattress etc. even at inflated prices in northern France. See covid PPE.
Or find out the going rate for bribes along the same coast and bid more.
Doonhamer - or sabotage the railway lines so people can't get to the coast...
