Stop the wasteful talk of commissioning a new royal yacht.

We have no need for a royal yacht.
We also no longer have a navy that can readily protect it.
Stop this tub thumping vanity project of the prime minister.
At a time when money is tight and the navy is under pressure. As we cut foreign aid. We go wasting money on this vanity project.
