What does it mean “paper loss”?

And this is not only Cummings related.

It is related to the pro #Brexit at all costs policy of the Tory government.

Everything he did and said was to that end.

Yes, Dominc Cummings, the architect of the Covid chaos and the brains behind the Brexit shit show

This is what the Labour government is battling with, having to pick up the cost of these Tory contracts.

This was touted as a gps replacement when consequences of brexit to membership of Galileo became high profile. 5 minutes thought would conclude that's not happening. But I guess it served its political purposes

Starlink is getting eu competition via EU iris programme. Which is probably something else we aren't part of

Correct- it’s EU programme

Ah, Cummings. Another gift that keeps on giving.

But view it this way: Most of that £300M probably made it into Tory Donors' offshore accounts. So it's a win-win scenario, unless you're a taxpayer.

I fully expect Musk's "DOGE" to waste public money in a similar way, only on a far bigger scale,* & Musk to be completely oblivious to the irony.

*assuming that "DOGE" ever gets off the ground & the idea isn't simply dumped, a casualty of the Trump/Musk pissing contest.
