I suspect the road and rail infrastructure which is taxpayer funded is now in the region of £20bn using HS2 and Crossrail as a yardstick.
It seems incredible that Labour have not picked up on this
Must confess I'm more right wing than Attila The Hun but I'm scratching my head as to the value of providing infrastructure for a new service to say Caracas if people are in AE for 36hours, nanny has zero support in terms of social care placement and criminals are allowed to roam our streets with impunity as we have a failed justice system cut to the bone and no police !
Maybe do the basics to provide a good standard of living for everyone and then subsidise a 3rd runway?
The argument will be that we need that service to Caracas as we are an international trading nation so need to do business to fund all those things - not saying its right, but that's the argument.
