The man who spent a year literally begging for a Nobel peace prize is attacking the pope for advocating for…peace.

The British government has wasted more money on failed projects than some countries spend building their entire infrastructure. After hearing about the cancellation of the Stonehenge Tunnel project, yet it still racking up £179 million in cost, I wanted to look at other projects and costs to see what the picture looks like this century. Every number here comes from official reports, the National Audit Office, parliamentary committees, and ministers' own admissions. Let me show you where your money has gone. HS2 was sold to the country as a £37.5 billion high speed rail network connecting London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds. The first phase was supposed to open this year. In 2026. Here's where it actually is. After six years of construction and £46 billion spent, tunnels have been bored, earth has been moved, viaducts have been built. But there is no railway. Not a single metre of track. The legs to Manchester and Leeds have been cancelled entirely. What's left is a line from London to Birmingham with no confirmed opening date, no confirmed final cost, and estimates so unstable that Parliament's own Public Accounts Committee has warned the cash cost of Phase 1 alone could reach £80 billion. Some industry forecasts put it above £100 billion. The Transport Secretary stood in Parliament last year and called it "an appalling mess." She said billions had been wasted on scope changes, ineffective contracts, and bad management. Fraud allegations have since emerged in the supply chain. Three times the original price. A fraction of what was promised. And still years from completion. But HS2 is just one example. The NHS National Programme for IT was supposed to create a unified electronic health record for every patient in England. Launched in 2002 with a budget of £6 billion. Abandoned in 2011 with the Public Accounts Committee putting the expected cost at £12.4 billion. It delivered a fraction of its promised benefits. Only 13 out of 169 hospital trusts received the systems they were meant to get. Then one of the contractors sued the government and won a settlement of nearly half a billion pounds. On top. During Covid, the government threw billions out the door with almost no checks. The Covid Counter Fraud Commissioner's final report, published December 2025, found that fraud and error across pandemic support schemes cost taxpayers £10.9 billion. How much has been recovered? £1.8 billion. The Commissioner's words, not mine. The previous government "left the front door open to fraud." Bounce Back Loans were rolled out in under two weeks with no independent verification. PPE contracts were handed to companies with no track record. Defective gowns, masks, and visors weren't inspected for two years. By the time anyone checked, the money was gone. Universal Credit was supposed to simplify the benefits system. The original programme was budgeted at around £2 billion. The National Audit Office has flagged massive overruns repeatedly as the project ballooned in scope and complexity. Total costs have run many times higher than planned. Nobody was fired. The smart meter rollout was supposed to be finished by 2020. It wasn't. Costs have hit £13.5 billion. The programme has been dogged by meters losing functionality, missed deadlines, and a failure to deliver the energy savings that justified the whole thing in the first place. One many of you will be familiar with. The Post Office spent £600 million on a computer system called Horizon. It was fundamentally flawed. Its defects led to more than 900 wrongful convictions. Sub-postmasters lost their homes. Their businesses. Their families. At least 13 people took their own lives. Compensation has now reached £1.4 billion and is expected to hit £2 billion. Fujitsu, the company that built the system, has not paid a single penny toward that bill. It is still collecting government contracts. The Fire Control project. £469 million. Seven years. An attempt to modernise fire service control rooms. Scrapped. Nothing delivered. What a waste. The electronic tagging programme. Five years late. Tens of millions spent. Abandoned. They ended up buying off the shelf tags that could have been bought for a fraction of the price years earlier. The Garden Bridge. £53 million of public money. Not a single piece was built. You might ask what £53 million was spent on exactly. The Rwanda deportation scheme. £715 million. Four people went voluntarily. Not a single forced deportation was carried out. Then the whole thing was scrapped. Now here's the part that ties it all together. In 2019, the Prime Minister's own Implementation Unit looked at the government's £432 billion portfolio of major projects. Only 8% had proper plans to evaluate whether they were working. 64% of that spending, £276 billion, had no evaluation at all. None. The government was spending hundreds of billions of your money with no way of knowing if any of it was delivering. The National Audit Office has said there has been a "consistent pattern of underperformance" spanning 25 years. Twenty five years of reports saying the same thing. And nothing changes. Add it up. HS2 overruns. NHS IT written off. £10.9 billion in Covid fraud. Universal Credit ballooning. Smart meters over budget. Post Office compensation approaching £2 billion. Fire Control. Rwanda. Garden Bridge. Tagging. And those are just the ones that made the news. The total runs into the tens of billions. More than the entire annual education budget. Approaching what the government now spends on debt interest in a single year. And here's the scary part. This is only what we know about. The NAO has been clear the real picture is worse because most projects aren't properly evaluated in the first place. These are the failures too big to hide. Imagine the ones that aren't. This is the same government that says there's no money for public services. That raises your taxes every year and delivers less every year. That can't build a railway. Can't roll out a computer system. Can't buy protective equipment without losing billions to fraud. And every time it happens, the pattern is the same. The project fails. The minister moves on. The civil servant gets a knighthood. The contractor gets the next contract. And you pick up the bill. The UK doesn't have a funding problem. It has a competence problem. And until that changes, no amount of tax rises, borrowing, or spending reviews will make the slightest difference.

This is what we’ve done to something as simple as a pear. Grown in Argentina. Packed in Thailand. Sealed in plastic. Floated across oceans. Sold halfway around the world. We’ve turned fresh fruit into a global supply chain that burns fuel, creates waste, and doesn't even taste like the actual fruit anymore. Why can't we just grow and package our pears here?

İspanya menşeli avokado 1.29 euro bitmiş, İsrail menşeli avokado 0.75 euro olmasına rağmen kimse almamış. Helal olsun İspanya 👏🏻 Tüm dünya İsrail’den nefret ediyor.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel bombed the mausoleum of Simon Peter, an apostle of Christ, to ruins (again) The ancient shrine is believed to hold the burial place of Saint Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ — in Southern Lebanon This marks the third time Israel has targeted the shrine, which dates to the 1st century CE

Apple deleting the maps of Lebanon's towns and villages before Israel even destroys them shows that the people who work for Netanyahu RUN companies like Apple. The billionaires and the fascists are one and the same.

WOW Ireland's courts just freed Enoch Burke's Mother and Sister AFTER JAILING THEM for calling out judicial corruption. Enoch has been ROTTING IN PRISON FOR 650+ DAYS for refusing the ‘they/them’ LIES. THIS IS TRANSGENDER TYRANNY THIS IS PURE EVIL

REMEMBER‼️Starmer visited Southport for a photo op, ignored the families & left after 19 seconds - to attend a PARTY in Downing Street. He then gaslit everyone, called them 'far-right' and jailed people for spicy tweets. And the entire time he knew it was Islamic terror. 🇬🇧

This is f***ing ridiculous..just been the doctors. Can't make an appointment, even though I was chatting to receptionist..all has to be done through an app. And doc looks at it tomorrow to see if I need to see a doctor. Then they'll decide 😩 What a frigging stupid system.Farce.

Hinkley Point C was supposed to cost eighteen billion pounds and start generating electricity by 2027. That was the figure they presented to parliament. That was the deal. In February, EDF announced it will now be 2030 at the earliest. The cost, adjusted for inflation, has reached £49 billionn. That's nearly triple the original budget. The thing has been under construction for the better part of a decade and has not produced a single watt of electricity. EDF, by the way, is a French state-owned company. In other words, we are paying a French government enterprise £49 billionn to build us a reactor that a French government enterprise cannot deliver on time or on budget. Here is what makes this actively maddening rather than merely depressing. Rolls-Royce has a small modular reactor programme ready to deploy at Wylfa, on Anglesey, where a decommissioned nuclear site already exists. British company. British design. A fraction of the cost per unit. The technology works; the site is there; the only missing ingredient is a government capable of signing a piece of paper without convening a fourteen-year consultation process first. That could be your cheap energy. Your money back in your pocket at the end of the month. But that is not how Britain works. Not how we build things any more. Now, our sole industrial output is consultation frameworks. Environmental review stages, which then of course subside it review stages of the review stages, and stakeholder engagement processes whose principal stakeholders are the same consultants hired to manage them. Hinkley is not an aberration, but the system working exactly as designed. The system was just never designed to produce energy. It was designed to produce process, and by God, it has delivered. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. We are rationing petrol at the forecourt. Our flagship nuclear project, the one that was going to secure British energy independence - and, remember, energy independence is independence - will not generate power until the end of the decade, at the earliest, at a cost that has now exceeded twice what parliament was told it would be. £49 billion. Just one cost line on an inventory of failures stretching through the decades, and it will keep climbing for as long as we keep employing the people responsible for not doing them.

Why is this not on the news

Private firms got £12bn NHS contracts. Private equity, offshore tax haven firms big winners. £1.6bn profit in 2 yrs. Enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses Health service “taken for a ride”. Say NO to privatisation. Must expand NHS capacity. theguardian.com/society/2026/a…

If the Irish Government collapses tomorrow, the ripple effects across Europe could be ENORMOUS. It would show people in the rest of Europe how easy it is to stop their Governments from destroying their Countries, if they just stand up and FIGHT BACK!!! Please let it happen! 🙏

अब्बास अराकची ने बाकायदा ट्वीट किया है। वे कहते हैं कि सब कुछ ठीक चल रहा था। कल रात देर तक मैंने लाइव किया था—सब कुछ ठीक चल रहा था। जेडी वेंस, जो अमेरिका के वाइस प्रेसिडेंट हैं, बाकी नेगोशिएशन टीम के साथ बातचीत कर रहे थे। इसी दौरान स्टीव विटकॉफ और जेरड कुशनर अचानक बातचीत के बीच में आ जाते हैं, जबकि वे उस कमरे में मौजूद नहीं थे। कहा जा रहा है कि वे बातचीत के बीच में आए और इज़राइल के प्रधानमंत्री नेतन्याहू का संदेश लेकर आए। खुद अब्बास अराकची ने यह बात कही है कि बातचीत के दौरान जेडी वेंस को इज़राइल के प्रधानमंत्री बेंजामिन नेतन्याहू की कॉल आती है, और उसके बाद बातचीत नाकाम हो जाती है। अब आप समझ जाएं कि किस तरह इज़राइल का प्रभाव अमेरिकी कूटनीति और उसकी आधिकारिक विदेश नीति पर हावी है।

Find it baffling how people will sit in the middle lane of the motorway tootling along at 63mph, get passed by cars in both lanes either side of them and not realise they’re doing anything wrong

🚨🇮🇪BREAKING: Ireland is completely blocked today as brave patriots refuse to back down from their demands! Farmers, truck drivers, bikers - all of Ireland is protesting against destruction of their country! Legacy media is ignoring this story for days.
