The British government has wasted a total of £14 billion on a series of non-essential holidays, products, and experiences, including "vegan ice cream in Uruguay", a damning report reveals.
LBC's Nick Ferrari has revealed that the British government have squandered a grand total of £14 billion "on what could only be described as absolutely not what the government should be spending its funds on."
The scandalous revelation has come to light amid a harrowing cost of living crisis, as Britain's inflation level hits a 41-year high, and just before the government announced its Autumn Statement.
"Where do you even start," began Nick Ferrari, before reciting what read like a never-ending document of expenses.
The expenses documented include:
£98 million by the Ministry of Justice on an electric tagging programme that was recalled.
An unknown total of funds on the HS2, which is no longer needed.
An unknown total of funds on a breads jewellery subscription box of knitting supplies from the Czech Republic for British prison inmates.
