The Prime Minster announced a few weeks ago that a new Royal Yacht’ was going to be built. Buckingham Palace refused the idea and further more did not want it named after the late Prince Philip.
It is to be paid for by the MofD but used for businesses. Some men in power seem to build a monuments before they leave, could the estimated £200m be better spent on other things?

Calculated to lose him the next election so maybe there are some positives ?We have a poor government here but I don’t think even they would do such a silly thing. Mad as cut snakes.

Of course it could be better spent but not by Johnson. We don't need a yacht, we need a better Prime Minister.
