Boris Johnson has stepped up plans to build a £20bn bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland, despite the scepticism of experts and virtually all people. A Downing Street spokesman said: This is

Let's not forget the Garden Bridge proposal, a failed project that cost £53m, including £43m of public money. And don't even get us started on those buses. Or the water cannons he bought for no reason.

Isn't that part of the water filled with scuttled WWII munitions?

He couldn’t build a bridge from London to London

And the mexicans will pay for it, right?!🤔😄

Hard

It's just a distraction and the press are falling for it.

I smell shite!

He's obsessed with leaving a legacy project. Can we not just name a sports hall in Yorkshire after him and leave it at that?

Its all about legacy.

Seems like a very expensive way to evacuate the Ulster Unionists from a newly united Ireland. Perhaps the people of Portpatrick could mobilise little ships instead? dumfriesandgallowaykirk

He couldn't build a bridge across the Thames, what makes him think he can build a longer Bridge that has to cross a Sea? Part of his Bat-shit crazy ways to funnel money to his friends?

More lies

How nice of Johnson to build a bridge between a united Ireland and an independent Scotland!!

Because the garden bridge was an amazing success and how much money went to Boris’ mates?

A bridge over 12 miles of very rough sea......probably couldn’t drive across it most days because of wind

'We want investment in infrastructure but not that infrastructure.'

No no no... Just no!

Better idea than HS2; which is just a way to make Birmingham another borough of London...

Imagination have been asked to re-record their big hit in honour of this, with updated lyrics. Obviously. 'It's Just a Delusion' will be released April 1st

You cant even deliver hs2

Not without guarantees about Scotland remaining part of the United Kingdom.

Boris Johnson stepping up 'bonkers' plan to build £20bn bridge from Scotland to Northern Ireland'Proper piece of work' underway says No 10 - despite warning that project is 'technically clueless' so costs will spiral Why? Scotland will be independent in 5 years and Ireland will be united in less than 10. I can just imagine all the Home Counties Tory nimbys being up in arms at a motorway being driven through Loch Lomond national park. Feel sure N Ireland and Scotland would rather be given £10 bill each to improve their own infrastructure and services.

Boris Johnson to give HS2 green light despite Tory fearsPM will promise range of other infrastructure projects to appease nothern voters It’s actually never about the money and always about the politics. If we fail to see money entirely as a construct of politics, we fail to see at all. Waste of £billions! Thank goodness, this project is vital for meeting our carbon neutral target as it will create a massive impact in rail travel boosting parts of the network by a factor of 3 & reducing short distance flights & distance road use. Failure to deliver makes Britain a laughing stock
