  3. "It includes £47bn on new nuclear submarines and £5bn more on drones, £1bn more than announced in last year’s strategic spending review."

    See what Russia's nuclear arsenal does for it? Imagine, you could spend £5 billion on drones and protect the nation while also funding infrastructure projects or you can pretend you're a superpower still and keep up the nuclear submarine illusion.

  5. A Russian warship firing at civilian craft in the English Channel and I get the feeling the Government only heard about it when the rest of us did.

    Is there no frigate tailing this Russian ship or something? Is it in the Strait of Hormuz instead?

  9. Honestly, how much money could be saved by cutting stuff we don't need from the Military Industrial Complex when thousands of drones and the pilots to fly them are what we need.
    Expensive American jets, tanks and APCs that don't really work but make shareholders rich, shit like that.

    We don't have to starve ourselves to defend ourselves, that's idiotic and right-wing (but that's Labour!)

  13. "It further weakens Starmer in that this was supposed to be his strong point - and has repeatedly said that keeping nation safe is his number one priority."

    lol, in what way has that useless coward 'kept us safe?'

    By crawling up Trump's ass? Look where that got him
    By telling off Elon Musk on Twitter? Amazingly, the World's Richest Man has not calmed down...what now Keir?

  15. That fucking tank, which is more drone bait. And the personnel carrier which makes passengers ill somehow, and is also drone bait.

    We could defend our nation and not have to cut from other budgets by dropping some boondoggles that won't work in the real world.

  17. I remain unconvinced that these things are anything more but lumbering behemoths in the Drone War. They are what Battleships were to the WWII theatre, powerful but vulnerable and outdated by new developments, (ironically 'Aircraft Carriers')

    Thinking about how much of the Russian Navy Ukraine has taken out without any aircraft carriers or missile cruisers

    Also, they are fucking expensive.

  19. "The world is an increasingly dangerous place, Starmer is being told, and now is not the time for delay or half-measures."

    Unfortunately , being a caretaker PM is what Starmer is here to do.

    Do we really think Burnham can turn this ship around though?

  21. Probably wise not to be a lorry driver on stolen land right now.....war is hell, isn't it?

    Ukraine did this without any real help from the UK, perhaps some money but our expertise is outdated now and we are a silly island.

  25. RE: mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/116731

    Labour has left our nation undefended from Russian and American aggression.
    The Russians fuck with us physically, the Americans fuck with us socially and financially.

    The Yanks are causing race riots in the UK via their social media networks and the Labour Government won't do a thing to stop them. And they make promises to Ukraine which they don't deliver on, the training we offer is outdated, we're all talk and no trousers.

  32. A weak, indecisive leader, the man is a Neville Chamberlain for the 21st Century, an Epstein Class stooge who cannot think for himself.
    We know Starmer is shit on defence because we've had foreign instigated pogroms on our streets for two days straight and he's not done anything, no COBRA meetings, nothing.

    "Whites Will Be Whites" ...innit?

  34. Empty promises and an inability to see the threats that are facing this country, Fascism, Climate Change and nations such as Russia and the USA who think they should dominate us.

    Starmer is a just a rabbit in the headlights, no leadership, no initiative, just a man out of his depth.
    But then Burnham won't be much different, will he?

    What are we doing about the Drone War Mr Prime Minister?
