Demanding from whom? The current government could not cook an egg.

With enough study and preparation, and enough funding, I bet the current government could, in fact, cook an egg.

They could break an egg with that level of commitment, cooking it is another thing altogether

I have some doubt that the current prime minister has ever cooked an egg.

The most likely outcome is, in fact, that they would pay £60m to a company (which happens to be run by well-connected friends of the Prime Minister), for them to cook an egg - just to discover 6 months later that such company never owned a pan and never cooked anything.
