Naval architect Stephen Payne says proposed design will be a “very poor” flagship for the UK

He said:"They say they'll use a Royal Navy crew. Isn't there a chronic manpower shortage within the service? Will the Navy look at this new vessel not with adoring eyes but with despair as it struggles to keep frontline ships at sea?

A sickening slap in the face for every tax payer, every hungry child living below the poverty line, every nurse lamenting the insult of a 1% pay rise. Wasting our money on a royal yacht is obscene and beyond any reasoning at any time ever!

It's kind of beautiful

why not have non paid part time politicians save the gov is god sh=t

why have toys ruins .....

Good that The Royal Family is getting a Yatch. Queen Elizabeth is gonna be happy. Hope it comes to existence in her reign.

Isn’t ANYONE asking WHY TF DO THEY NEED A NEW YACHT!!

Why do we need this puerile waste of our money. There are far more important things that this country could spend its money on rather than an expensive runaround for an anachronistic institution.

Sour grapes as he wasn't paid a fortune to design it?... The fact that it looks classic rather than like every other ship will make it stand out, and there is no doubt it will be the most hi-tech non-warship on the seas.

That's a shocker! I'll change my support for the new yacht if it looks like that! It should be high tech & ground breaking design that'll set the fashion for super yachts for decades to come.

It's going to be Royal Navy ship. What is it going to do when not acting like floating Gin palace?

Taking back control of our trawlers.

That does look like an Icelandic fishing trawler. Awful.

I've seen prettier fishing trawlers.🤪

Still in the colonial vision?

Do we get to name it?

But it has four flags on it

More rubbish form you. We did beg, and I guess begging is a form of taking back control if you get your own way for another 3 months.

Boris braces for another onslaught from Dominic CummingsDominic Cummings could step up his bitter war on the 'gaffe machine' PM and his former government colleagues in the online session - which is only open to paying 'subscribers'. Squealer Cummings at it again 😜 All Cummings has done so far is tell the Nation that Johnson was rather unwise & showed very poor judgment in choosing & trusting Cummings as his close adviser, Cummings has said nothing more than it was already known, his squealing says more about himself than anyone else! Sad👎 Who cares wat he's got to say just go away
