Defence Secretary ‘speechless’ at MoD splashing out £5m on electric racers as he strives to cut out waste
Cash from the stretched military budget was splurged on sponsoring a “Formula Woke” racing team, an audit of defence spending has revealed.
Taxpayers’ money meant for front-line troops was instead used to emblazon the Ministry of Defence’s logo on the mudflaps of an electric rally car.
John Healey, the Defence Secretary, has now cancelled the £5 million contract with McLaren after being left “speechless” by the “waste”.
