The two trillion number over a decade is a realistic goal.
But the only way you could cut two trillion out of the budget in a year is in the shooting yourself in the head kind of mechanism.
In the UK, carbon emissions from New Zealand-grown apples are 32% lower than apples grown domestically, including emissions from shipping.
Up to one in 12 in London is an illegal migrant.
Well, not from the Office for National Statistics.
It was actually based on a study commissioned for internal use only by Thames Water.
Thames Water?
Yeah, they wanted to figure out how many people live in the area they supply, which, by the way, isn't the same as the official boundary of London.
But let's let that one slide.
That estimate needed to include people such as tourists, people with second homes, refugees from Ukraine, and also unauthorised immigrants.
And the Telegraph got their hands on the report that Thames Water commissioned.
Well, we don't believe the maths.
The Telegraph made one fairly elementary maths error and had to correct the ratio from 1 in 12 to 1 in 13 once that was pointed out.
And they also rather cheekily looked at a range of estimates in the Thames Water Report and picked the biggest.
The mid-range would put the ratio at 1 in 15.
The underlying data comes from a respected American think tank called the Pew Research Centre.
But Pew's numbers were based on data from back in 2017.
They were also for the UK as a whole.
