Staggering number buried in today’s #COVID19 winter plan: Test & Trace will cost an extra £7bn, so £22bn total this yr.
To put that into perspective, that’s more than the ENTIRE cost of Crossrail (£18bn) or the Channel Tunnel (£9bn at the time, just under £20bn in today’s money). pic.twitter.com/ywSGXjDNu8
