£37 billion

In the small print of the budget, there was news of four billion in public spending cuuts, 1% pay rise for the NHS and, astonishingly, an exta £15 billion for Did Harding's failed track and trace program.

This is enough to buy six new aircraft acrriers now,, and enough to have given each working in the NHS a £45,000 cash bonus.

Spending on the NHS doctors and nirses and other staff is bad, but giving £37 billion to SERCO is, apparently, fine, and none of it scrutinsed.

No one knows wht the money has been spent on, other than it has been spent. Seven grand a day external contracts is part of it.

Meanwhile, Johnson is looking to raise £200,000 to decorate his flat in Number 10.

The Government has failed to publish 504 contracts within the time UK laws demand, contrary to the PM's statement in the House on the 24th last month that all have now been published, some 100 are still to be published the Government confirmed today.

The waste and cronyism is just sickening, but sure, let the BBC and press only talk and Harry and Megan.

More bread and circuses.
