We have this Green party leader dancing around like a demented numpty and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey mounting one stupid stunt after another. Polls currently give them around 35% of the vote combined. No wonder we are increasingly regarded as not a serious country. Because we’re not.



🇳🇴Norway has decided to further increase its defence spending by 115 NOK (c£8.9Bn) to 3.5% GDP by 2035. This guarantees funding of 5 or 6 Type 26 frigates as well as 6 Type 212CD submarines.






On the one hand, yes, there’s plenty of blame to go around. On the other, that includes various media elites who (a) paid little attention to such matters and (b) cheerled for certain contributory policies, e.g. outsourcing govt support work to margin-maximising contractors.








I genuinely now believe that, moving forward, we need to assume anything we are told by the Government relating to the Mandelson appointment is a lie, unless supported by clear evidence.
