@Peston Wrong about one point especially, bewilderment amongst journalists and the general public, you mean amongst journalists and MPs. The general public are too busy trying to figure where the next gas bill is coming from to be bothered with this nonsense

@SkyNews Did somebody throw a sack full of cash over the back fence and onto the shed roof?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@sexandtheswiss Which people? People that want to sell you a new bike?

@richardodurrant Look up the Crown Estate and the Sovereign Grant and the agreement George iii made in 1760, the King is effectively taxed 85%. Personally I don't think the tax that Amazon or Starbucks get away without paying is fair but each to their own.

@JamesCleverly It was the weather! They might be desperate but you'd have to be bloody stupid to be out in that!

@fergustp @jxckisbored @richardodurrant Surplus as its a not for profit organisation, but yes, for 2022/2023 we were up £183million on the deal

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@richardodurrant Doesn't even cost us that, under the original agreement we made a profit of £183 million, question is of you abolish the need to pay out the sovereign grant do you still get to keep the mechanism that calculates and pays for it?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@Peston @itvnews So the cost of sending someone to a safe country - not specifically Rwanda - is £169,000, compared to £106,000 if they remain in the UK. Or £290 million to not send 200 to Rwanda. Sunak could go into DFS pay way more than full price and still not walk out with a sofa!

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@Conservatives @RishiSunak Instead of all this Rwanda nonsense has anyone considered processing the claims quicker? Within a number of weeks rather than within a number of years?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@RishiSunak Does anybody know how many people will be sent to Rwanda under this agreement?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@SuellaBraverman Would your or Rishi's parents have got in if this level of measures had been in place back then?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@darrengrimes Where do you store them once frozen and would it be cheaper than not sending them to Rwanda?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@KieranMcGuire Gave the scan as you shop a go in tesco, total came to £64.53. Deleted it all off and went through the self checkout instead, only came to £43.64. Every little helps

@absoluteradio @leonagraham Must be George Harrison, I believe they were great mates for quite some time before the travelling willburys happened and although the song was co written by Jeff Lynne, Harrison tweaked a few of the lines when they came to record it.

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@RishiSunak Can you or your team give us a quick run down of what you actually did to reduce inflation and what measurable effect each action had?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@SYMeetali @RishiSunak Yeah! Human rights are so overrated

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@RishiSunak Have you ever considered dropping all this nonsense and just processing claims quicker? Weeks instead of months or even years?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@RishiSunak 'I did that'. How? What exactly did you do and what measurable effect did it have?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@JamesCleverly Here's a radical idea for you that could solve a lot of the problems you've inherited. Has anyone had a real long hard look at reducing the claim processing times, getting it down to weeks rather than months or even years?

[Paul Gilbert @Paulgilbertone]

@Peston Has anyone actively considered reducing the processing time for applications from years to months, and maybe even weeks?
