Then fund them. The defence investment plan has been delayed for 6 months, and its not likely anytime soon.

Poor though the escort numbers are, we can surmise that in an emergency several more could be made available at short notice.
However with their continuing appalling availability status, it is difficult to see how the SSN crews can be maintaining any sort of operational currency.

Royal Navy & RFA status update. (With a requested key)
English
@blagden_david Oh my god! This is incredibly pertinent! Information like this was once “confidential”. However, individuals feel that this is newsworthy or, gossip worthy by those (may be you) who really don’t understand the bigger picture! Yes lots of OPDEFS but let’s not go down that road!
English
The reason this passes for news - beyond the Mail’s love of clickbait - is that the naval knowledge of the country (and its media) is now so low that most people don’t know that all warships get loads of OPDEFs all the time.

@LukePollard @CouncillorTudor That is all very well! But what is happening with the RFA pay review from The Labour Party perspective?

Minimum wage rates go up this week, giving a pay rise to 2.7 million people.
This is good news for working people – now let’s get on and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full. 🌹

Curiously after yesterdays car crash of an interview by the Defence Secretary, some his defenders did some creative math's to explain eventual his 17 destroyers & frigates answer. By saying he counted 2xT26 & 2xT31 with crews (which would include this clearly not 'Active' ship).

@Ed_Miliband @labourpress This person just makes me angry in the fact that with his multi millionaire “brain” he is oblivious to the hard ship faced by people…idiot!

I know families will be concerned about the impact of the Iran conflict on the cost of living here at home.
From next week energy bills will fall by 7%, and the price cap will provide protection for households until the end of June.
We're determined to fight people’s corner.

@LukePollard I’ve just played back the interview with @LBC @NickFerrariLBC a bit of a stumble when answering questions about our own Royal Navy. Shocking to be honest!

Today the Prime Minister has confirmed he has authorised UK armed forces to take action against Russian shadow fleet vessels to turn the screw on the funding for Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine.
The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Also known as the vehicle doing more than a few days on a test track.
"The soldiers had been out on it for a prolonged period of time.
If the vehicle has to be perfectly maintained on weeks long exercises on Salisbury Plain to not cause injuries, then guess how fuck they are if it ever gets pushed to the limit in wartime.
"we had a situation where the platform wasn't ope
rated and maintained within the specification it should have been, and that led to the incident."

@LukePollard Hope this isn’t another AJAX project?

I’ve officially kicked off the competition to find the successor to the iconic Land Rover fleet. After 70 years of faithful service, we are looking to the future.

@YouGov For an island nation, those results are bonkers! Also goes to show the twaddle our governing parties put out is rubbish and they really have no idea.

Royal Fleet Auxiliary seafarers keep our Navy supplied and operational. ⛴️ They deserve fair pay, decent conditions, and certainty about the future. We rely on them, the Government must deliver for them. I’ll keep pushing until they get the support they deserve. @RMTunion

@pegge49 Ah yes, the DIP! More dithering in planning (see what I did there). Absolutely shocking that this has not been presented. I for one am keen to understand what level of investment may happen for my organisation!
English
And lets not forget this was originally promised to be published in December, as the answer to all the questions the SDR word salad raised...
Note: Yes the previous Government has much to answer for, but in 19 months the current one hasn't ordered a single ship (or dry dock)...
Aerospace Analysis@JonA2i
John Healey repeatedly refused to give any guidance as to when the Defence Investment Plan will be published this afternoon, and would not confirm whether or not it CAN be published during purdah - (eg whether it can be published after 26th March and before early May).

@bylandseaandair The whole world has gone crazy!

This is actually laughable…
Lee Harris@LeeHarris
I kid you not. Rachel Reeves praises Canada and Norway for INCREASING their production of oil and gas. So while the Labour Party proudly ban new oil and gas production in the UK, they openly support it in other countries. You literally couldn't make it up. This is INSANE!
