Following the government's defeat in the appeal court on Tuesday I immediately tabled a parliamentary question asking how much the appeal cost.
Today the government admitted to spending £92,000 of tax payers’ money trying to defend a lost cause.
This as an absolute scandal. Everyone urged the government to accept their defeat at the High Court in July but they went on regardless. This is the government that argues there is no more money for public services, yet when it suits them they squander our money. An apology is due.
This money would have paid the salary of 4 nurses for a year.
