We sure are in a fucked up situation. The Grenfell enquiry find the company that manufactured and supplied the insulation material for Grenfell that caught fire and produced highly toxic smoke falsified the safety tests on it so it passed. They did this deliberately and deceitfully, marketing it as fire safe. Can't blame the Government for that one but another example of the malaise that seems to be infecting the nation. Try finding reports of that in the Mail btw.

Don’t worry. At least we’ll all be protected from any potential invasion.
Let me guess, a tory owned fabric company set up in 2019 with no prior experience in manufacturing or producing large volume will win a whopping contract to supply new uniforms? A tory owned lawn mower company will now be awarded contracts for producing tanks? A tory owned handbag manufacturer to make webbing?

Where the fuck has all the money for this come from? I’m all for spending more on defence and we’ve neglected the armed forces for far too long, but to suddenly find this amount on top of everything we’ve found for the pandemic is baffling to me. Just don’t get what’s going on.Let me guess, a tory owned fabric company set up in 2019 with no prior experience in manufacturing or producing large volume will win a whopping contract to supply new uniforms?

It's over 4 years, I think, so the headline figure of 16 billion is misleading.
Cutting overseas aid .Where the fuck has all the money for this come from?

Increasing our national debt from 80% of GDP to over 100%.Where the fuck has all the money for this come from?

Seems that in normal times it would be anathema for a Tory government to unnecessarily increase borrowing but if it's got to happen anyway due to an exceptional event like a pandemic, the current government do not appear to be averse to adding a bit more on to line the pockets of their mates while they think no one's looking.

True but it’s still an extra £4 billion per year... seems like Boris found Corbyns money tree after all ..It's over 4 years, I think, so the headline figure of 16 billion is misleading.

Totally the tories fault. Recommendations for the removal of cladding (after the Lakanel House fire) sat on a Tory ministers (Gavin Barwell) desk for years with ,as usual, nothing being done.
