Taxpayers dished out more than £4,000 on a trend lectern used by Liz Truss during her extremely short time at No 10.
The fancy stand is made up of a stack of twisted wood blocks which some had compared to a Jenga tower. The lectern was made special for Ms Truss with two versions being crafted; one paid by the Conservative Party and another by the government.
Responding to a Freedom of Information request by the Mirror, Downing Street revealed that £4,175 of taxpayers' money was thrown at the creation of the lectern. Many may recognise the expensive monolith from when Ms Truss used it to address the nation following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
