NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution.
TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."
MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.”

The government didn’t really spend £8 billion on ‘woke projects’, as you may have heard this week.
That figure is the total annual budget for UK Research and Innovation. About £10.4 million was awarded to projects the TaxPayers’ Alliance has called “woke”.

The 550% figure may have been affected by a broader classification of grooming since 2017, as well as changing rates of reporting.
