Nevertheless, the repair bill will be enormous. The work will take some time to complete and the occupants will even have to relocate temporarily. We know how that works. When we have major work done to our own homes, often we have to move out for a few days.
I do not want to back you into a corner, but it's also a matter of responsibility. Do you not find that the Prime Minister is being a little irresponsible by refusing to vacate the premises? What is even more irresponsible is that an imposing residence like 24 Sussex Drive is costing the taxpayers additional money, if only for heating?
In your opinion, is the Prime Minister standing firm because of policy considerations, or is he merely being irresponsible?
