Am I the only person appalled by Starmer's decision to spend billions on 12 US built nuclear bombers. Curiously, multiple searches don't reveal the cost to the British taxpayer. We can't even refuel them in the air.
This warmongering and proposed defence spending up to 5% GDP is a sop to a deranged Trump who will be gone on four years.
This is with the background of continued austerity, attacks on finances of the disabled and pensioners (most of whom now pay tax twice on money previously deducted from their gross salary) and leading to increased poverty per independent bodies.
This is not Statesmanship, it is appeasement. Trump's policies are negatively impacting World Trade and reducing our GDP. Tell him to do one.
So our need to increase defence spending is due to Trump and not Putin?
Both are to blame.
Trump is in Putin's pocket and has made Ukraine's position worse since he came to power. Trump is a very unreliable 'ally', he changes stance on a whim .
A bit like you then. Pro Brexit one minute Hate Brexit the next

They may think they do and convince people that. But there will be lots of knowledge gaps they won't have.
Niel Basu is the former head of counterterrorism for the Met and the other man is investigative journalist Andy Hughes.
Probably not the best qualified people in the world but certainly not the worst and maybe know a little bit more than most.
