If the Michelle Mone yacht worth £10 million is confiscated and the £148 million owed to taxpayers is 'paid back' that's £158 million right there in the defence pot.
Oh and let's not forget the £500 million owed in taxes by M'Lord Bamford.

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until this until he no longer is.
Thank you
Not a Labour Party member, but this is not bad in less than 2 years. Suggest Labour MPs, party members and wannabe leaders get a grip and do their stuff.
Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
18,000 reactions. One clear winner!
When The London Economic readers were asked who they want as Prime Minister by the end of 2026, Keir Starmer didn't just come first — he absolutely romped home with 11,800 reactions.
Burnham trailed far behind on 2,200. Rayner managed just 320. Streeting brought up the rear with 82.
The only thing that came remotely close to Starmer? The 3,300 people who clicked "none of the above".
For a Prime Minister supposedly in trouble, these may be the most positive numbers Starmer has seen since entering Downing Street.
£715 MILLION to deport just 4 asylum seekers to Rwanda.
That’s £178 MILLION per person.
A catastrophic failure.
A monumental waste of taxpayers’ money.
Yet no public inquiry. No accountability. No consequences.
Why can’t we ban politicians responsible for this level of incompetence from ever holding public office again?
it’s financial vandalism.
I seem to remember the BBC telling me back in the day, when the polls were good for Labour, that their guidelines prevented “reporting of single polls as news items in their own right.”
Seems to have changed if a single poll is good news for Reform! And to think that the consequence of all their favours and flattery will be to help elect a party committed to destroying them. Weird
"I voted for Brexit...despite it costing me money...to stop illegal immigration....Brexit has failed...I wish we'd stayed."
"I will [still] vote for Farage"
How the fuck do these people manage to get dressed by themselves?
Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote in Parliament for the last 11 weeks.
During that time he will have collected about £50,000 in wages and expenses.
But he will tell you Disabled People and immigrants are the problem.
No, it's rich lazy parasites like him.
Oh here we go again. @YorkshireWater claiming they are "INVESTING" £8.3 billion between 2025 - 2030.
That of course turns out to be completely untrue.
The only money I can see that shareholders are putting into the business is paying back the "loan" they took, by March 2027 and the £100 million they were supposed to pay to help reduce sewage dumping by the end of March 2025.
Every other damned penny of that £8.3 billion, that's £8.2 billion is being funded directly out of bill payers' pockets and not a damned thing to do with shareholders.
Why are water companies allowed to tell such utter lies?
Ofwat?
Before Brexit, there were about 300K net migrants a year, mostly from the EU.
After Brexit, immigration shot up to 900K, and EU migration was negative.
It’s amazing how stupid Brexit was from every possible perspective.
Populism is a low IQ movement.
