Lords drank £10,500 of champagne and prosecco in three months as UK economy tanked

More than £10,500 was spent on champagne and prosecco in the House of Lords in the weeks following Liz Truss' disastrous mini-budget.

Figures obtained by the SNP found that more than 300 bottles of sparkling wine were sold between September 22 and January 8. The mini-budget was announced on September 23 and resulted in an economic disaster for the UK.

Nearly £100 was spent on champagne or prosecco each day, including weekends.
