    We will find out where the money was spent, and how much went to Tory MPs and their mates.

    Then you can come along and tell us Corbyn would have spent more.

    It needs a proper audit, although I'm sure the Tories with brush any findings under the carpet and their supporters will argue that Corbyn would have spent more

    The government is to launch a PR blitz against the blight of middle-class illegal drug use, it has been reported.

    Boris Johnson is said to be planning the campaign with the hope of making taking cocaine as socially unacceptable as drink-driving.

    TV, radio and billboard adverts will target wealthy cocaine users who see the drug as a harmless weekend party habit by highlighting the violent crime and gang warfare that it is helping to fund.

    The Prime Minister hopes to imitate the successful drink-driving and road safety campaigns run by THINK! since 2000.

    I'd give the £140 billion back in tax cuts.
    Add them together and your near pre-covid nhs budget !!

    PCR tests ain't cheap - especially in situation of all countries trying to get their hands on chemicals needed to run tests.

    What would you spend the money on.

    For comparison the

    defence budget 2018/2019 £38 billion

    According to SpaceX estimates, they could put 2-3 people on mars.

    It is also about the same, as the whole Scottish budget for 2021??

    £37Billion FFS.

    Only because they can't get their hands on it while the middle class are snorting it all. Ban plebs from using it and it'll be snowing for them again.

    Considering county lines is mainly crack and heroin that should really help.

    AIUI The cocaine is delivered by people who fit in the society not young boys. Dealers are likely to be called Rupert not Wayne. I suspect there is significant threats of violence in the cocaine business but that is serious criminals threatening serious criminals. Frankly if they kill each other we should celebrate!

    Note almost all of the below had insignificant amounts (<1g) of cocaine.

    The last two were obviously importers and top of the tree. I suspect no one dared mess with them.

    The price of "Not the NHS" track and trace will continue to go up.
