Analysis commissioned by Amnesty determined that the Times and Sunday Times, the Telegraph, the Sun and the Guardian published a combined 16,913 articles on trans-related topics between January 2020 and April 2025, an average of around nine per day.

Man steals £2.3 billion, victims lose £2.3 billion.

It's a strange way to write a subheadline. I thought they were all about removing redundant wording?

Is that why he's pushing for more money for the MoD?...

It's rank hypocrisy to complain that there's vast wastage and inefficiencies, and then claim that you need more money.
