Boris Johnson is definitely absolutely completely the person I’d trust to see a bridge project through, no doubt about it. He wouldn’t waste loads of time and money on an impossible bridge project that never gets built. https://t.co/u2T7sI0HnU

The Barnier Bridge has a nice ring to it.
Or just “The Tusk”?

Corbyn: I think we should make broadband free.
Media: Madman, utter insanity, it could never work.Johnson: I want to build a 30-mile bridge across a 1000-foot-deep stretch of water that has a load of explosives dumped somewhere at the bottom.

Some sceptical people thought the only reason for the announcement of a possible attempt to build the unbuildable was to serve as a “dead cat thrown onto the table” – a distraction from something huge.
