First time I ever saw anyone outside of politics, who was promoting such a deal, claiming PPP as beneficial. In the UK they have been financially negative from the very first back under Major. The Blair government was particularly keen on them.

EDIT: A different UK report, extensively damning, this time a 2018 Select Comittee: https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/public-accounts-committee/news-parliament-2017/private-finance-initiatives-report-published-17-19/ https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z...
