There is another thread about this but yes there are countless other ways that money could be spent.

The NHS, education, and social care come to mind immediately.

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?
