1/6 I was trying to get my head around this ludicrous £22Bn figure for the non-functional Track&Trace app.
I'm still not sure how you physically spend that amount of money on ANYTHING!
So I tried to find a way to understand it.
A Billion is 1,000 Million. Thus 22Bn is 22,000 Mil.

2/6 I thought about sports cars, property, yachts. None of these felt like a common enough denominator for a Joe Schmo like me to truly understand. Then, it hit me. Football!
I could buy a Club!
Now, we generally accept footballers are paid 'disgusting' amounts of £ these days.

3/6 So my first thought was could I buy, for instance, the full 25man MCFC squad?
To my surprise, I could. Easily. A snip at a mere £810.9m from my 22,000M budget. Is that all?!
How many more? The Mirror has my back!

"Build Build Build"
From Boris Johnson, this does *not* mean #BuildBackBetter.
It means tearing up planning laws, letting cronies & Tory donors profit from shoddy housing on greenfield sites & throwing more billions down the HS2 drain.

Nor does "Build Build Build" mean affordable housing. In fact Boris Johnson is cutting the affordable homes budget.
This #BorisJohnsonSpeech has more smoke & mirrors than a 19th-century brothel frequented by cigar-toting debauchees.

Well done BBC for fact checking Boris Johnson's speech.
A bit like scanning the skies for evidence of alien life forms - though this is more likely to be found than facts in a #borisjohnsonspeech.
