Construction of ‘world’s most stupid tunnel’ scrapped as Treasury clamps down on spending
A controversial plan to build a tunnel between Scotland and Northern Ireland has been ditched before ground was broken, it has been reported, as the Treasury clamps down on spending.
The proposed link, described as the “world’s most stupid tunnel” by Boris Johnson’s former chief adviser, Dominic Cummings, had a price tag of about £15bn and the backing of the prime minister.
