UK DOGE has been keeping tabs on the government’s ballooning translation bills. Co-conspirators won’t be surprised to see the Department for Work and Pensions is one of the worst culprits…

According to a written parliamentary answer, the DWP splurged a staggering £7,656,454 last year on translation and interpretation services for benefit claimants. Of that, £6.7 million went on interpretation, and £882,118 on translation. The 1.26 million migrants now claiming Universal Credit might have something to do with that mega bill…

For that, you could:

• Provide 38,282 pensioners with the winter fuel allowance.
• Hire 246 new nurses.
• Buy one British Army Challenger 3 tank with £2.25 million left over.

The taxpayer may have a view on which should be prioritised. UK DOGE recommends costs are cut here…
