£8 million is a piffling amount when compared £37 billion (yes £37,000,000,000) that was supposedly spent on track and trace. It makes you wonder how this astonishing sum was used, and if we as citizens are entitled to have a copy of the money trail….

[@TalesOfWar]

What makes the track and trace thing even more insane is that we HAD a system that WORKED! It was literally among the best in the world, that was set up during the SARS epidemic. The government canned it a year or so before COVID to save money, then had to quickly reinvent the wheel when it turns out that maybe it was a bad idea and such a thing is actually useful to have. And it didn't work, because they threw the money at the wrong people. But hey, their friends and donors got a nice chunk of our money out of it.

The London stock exchange is no longer the most valued in Europe. Paris is more valuable now. The Tories claim to know about economics but have driven our country down into the ground.

One of the remaining will be on a training course leaving 24. They will be split up into three teams, covering three 8 hour shifts per day, meaning 8 officers on duty at any one time.

[@grahamlees4394]

that's always assuming that they will actually pay it.... they haven't paid the last amounts to the French yet...

Where has the 140 Billion gone- that has been sent to Rwanda?

[@emmanuelgoldspleen2905]

James, you want lower wages. It's really strange that you're so pro-business now. Not impressed.

[@scottparker6869]

There I was thinking we could now control out borders after leaving the EU....... Were we lied to 😲

And the idea to talk to France was from an Albanian beautiful writer and now the government said is their idea🥺 they should go back to this writer and ask her how does she think this can be done without spending that money, I’m sure the way is begging to the EU to get us back and that they are not going to abuse the EU money🥺🕊

[@racheltaylor8235]

She's sending police to France to police the French border .is this the same police that can't police the M25.

[@MarkStevens8899]

James is not bothered about wages kept low or uncontrolled immigration, why would he be?

[@martynblackburn9632]

He would make the perfect MP in that case. None of their policies affect them.

[@ArtyFactual_Intelligence]

Wages are still low after Brexit.That's all a red herring.

[@MarkStevens8899]

@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence Immigration is still uncontrolled after brexit, brexit solved nothing, a smokescreen.

Awesome, James. Killer awesome!

When he says, 'Asylum seekers and refugees, is he referring to illegal immigrants?'

James O`Brien - you`ll love the news = "Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests Brexit helped stop catastrophic defeat for the West in Ukraine"

[@johnrussell3961]

Ukraine want to join the EU. They are fighting for the freedom to do so. Remainers and Brexiteers cannot both support Ukraine. If they are obviously more like Remainers , it means Brexitters must be more like Putin. Delusions of firmer imperial grandeur.

8 million will barely cover inflation on that 55 million.

3 minutes in, and all I heard is rant after rant about £8m. CBF'd.

[@nickryder9669]

Hi James £55 million ! Inflation is above 10% so £5.5 +million for next year ! Just to get the same as this year ! Maybe the other £2.5 million is to cover for the devalued pound and extra costs incurred ?

[@tobyalan8874]

Probably cost £8 million on her expenses for her just to go there. We need Police patrolling here. I haven't seen one where I live for a loooonnng time. They pulled down The Police Station to build a Supermarket.

It'll just about cover the inflation. It won't be noticeable in their annual budget and could be wiped out by staff wage increases

Very much enjoyed that. You probably shouldn't have said ".....or was it the other one" when thinking of the alternative to Suella, considering said alternative was Priti Patel.
