David Lammy is DISGUSTING! In October to December 2024 alone, his air travel bill reached £1.23 million. Multiple quarterly releases show dozens of international visits across 50+ countries. It doesn't stop there... He also spent a ludicrous £520k on food and drink in only his first 3 months as Foreign Secretary. He lives the high life on private jets while Brits at home suffer. By the way, this is the same bastard who thinks men can have a uterus...

This should be the cause of national shame
John Bulkeley@bulkeley_john

@sentdefender And they shadowed two tankers and a Russian frigate with a British oiler. Think about that. How much of a threat is an oiler to those 3 ships in the English Channel. And it did absolutely nothing. Russia is treating the Royal Navy like a joke, and that’s dangerous to NATO.

@ModernNavy @RFAHeadquarters @RoyalNavy The only Bay currently in the water 🫡 I wish we still had the four we actually built, but naturally, our government of the day decided to sell one

@Keir_Starmer @FennellJW You are lying again; we can all see your lips moving. A secure UK would have the armed forces we deserve and you will not order a single ship, boat or plane, won't settle the RFA pay dispute and prosecute our veterans whilst protecting the criminals you import

The war in Iran must now become a line in the sand, because how we emerge from this crisis will define all of us for a generation. We will build a Britain that is stronger, more secure and more resilient. That is what this moment demands. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@AlecBell5826 @PWestoff What crippled the MoD budget was the Blair/Brown decision to pay for their wars out of the existing MoD budget; a trick pulled by most governments since. MoD budgets are set at maintenance rates during peacetime. If you want to fight a war, you have to pay extra! That's the deal

@PWestoff When you realise it was all intentional. Gorgon Brown pushed the White elephant carriers to use up the RN budget for a decade or two, hastening the demise. F-35 did the same for the RAF. Ajax for the Army!

@PWestoff This is so horrifically misinformed it's embarrassing PWLS deployed 9 months last year to the INDOPAC T45s can operate in warm temperatures diamond operated for months in the Red Sea on 2024 where she notched a kill on a ballistic missile with viper No range?

We have two modern aircraft carriers of course, but they rarely work and are not fitted with steam catapult launch systems, so the F-35B jets use huge fuel for semi-vertical take-off and landing and thus lack combat range. The few Frigates and Destroyers are not battle ready and cannot defend the carriers. Even worse, the Destroyers cannot operate in warm seas (mid-east) because electrical demand (radar + full battle stations) overloads electrical capacity unless the A/C is turned off..... A tragic comedy for an Island nation.

Wind turbines are getting bigger, more efficient, and are delivering higher output. That sounds impressive, but it isn't compared to other sources. A single nuclear plant, for example, produces around 1,750 megawatts. To match that, you need roughly 150 large turbines. Wind uses over 100X more land than nuclear for the same output. And turbines, of course, only produce power when the wind is blowing. Nuclear is constant. Then there's the storage requirements. To make wind reliable, you need batteries. At grid scale, that becomes impossible with current technologies. Wind power remains an expensive pipe dream, lining the pockets of a few at the expense of the many.

@Franksquarerig There are a number of potential solutions to this problem:- 1 - extend the life of the 45's (very likely) 2- build batch 2 45's (extremely unlikely) 3- order more T26's and sub the module bay for an AA capability This last one makes sense to me, but def won't happen.

Answer to the Question below is Zero Chance any type 83 in service before last type 45 scheduled to pay off in 2038. Seriously given glacial pace of procurement & shipbuilding this not not even remotely possible
Modern Royal Navy@ModernNavy

Will Type 83 destroyers be in service when the last Type 45 is paid off in 2038. Will build start in time with frigate HMS GLASGOW taking 9 years plus. They are to play a key role in the Future Air Dominance System against emerging threats @navalnewscom youtu.be/7OFJXfoOsyk?si…
