Rishi Sunak has finally acted to drop the Conservative PPCs at the heart of the betting scandal.

He promised to restore “integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level” when he arrived in Number 10.

14 years of the Conservatives in government, in charts, by the @FT.

Seeing the legacy of 14 wasted years laid out starkly is, frankly, astounding. 👇1/

£4.7 BILLION. The amount the government says it'll spend on the programmes to manage to passage of goods cross-border post-Brexit.

£62 million was spent on a Dover customs post that wasn't needed.

£258 million spent on eight temporary border facilities, also never needed. 2/

A £150 million contract awarded to Deloitte and IBM in May last year to deliver the first part of the £349 million 'single trade window programme' is months behind schedule. 3/
