@kokeshimum The comments saying "the same as today" or "why does it matter" says it all.
Who's going to pay for their retirement is the bigger question, though. We don't like immigration, and we aren't a family orientated country. So where's the tax coming from to support pensioners?

@beffjezosOG @activbristol This is original rage bait. Remember sitting next to your younger sibling watching them ruin the game and take ages doing so 😂

@PumpkinOne97847 @WileyWindyMoor1 @truemagic68 Absolute madness is their logic. How does one live on 20hrs a week?! Unless you're drawing on another source of income... And so it goes on.

No easy hope or lies
Shall bring us to our goal,
But iron sacrifice
Of body, will, and soul.
There is but one task for all—
One life for each to give.
What stands if Freedom fall?
Who dies if England live?

@campbellclaret Not a Lab supporter, politically homeless, but I thought Kier would be a fresh phase. The opportunity lost and infighting is no different to previous Govs. It's no wonder we can't achieve change with the change of PMs we see. Priority appears to be party interests before nation.

@AndyC_88 @thinkdefence What does that say about the current crop. The majority of which have been in prime positions before and delivered very little.

@arkle1962 @PolitlcsUK I'm not arguing against your point, but which of this previous didn't when you remove hindsight? Some previous to the current pm look like decent people, and that really is saying something.

@boreal_dreams @PolitlcsUK It's a race to the bottom

@thinkdefence Serious and wide ranging industry engagement; tracking of veterans, starting today, not tomorrow. As a stretch target (that will require budget) mag to grid exquisite kit programmes - pivot to mass and cheap tech (hand in hand with point 1).

@Putinfails @Gabriel64869839 @Keir_Starmer Where are the people that know what they are doing coming from? I jest...

@TerraOrBust @United_Beanz @PolitlcsUK "This book successfully identifies 75 tangible instances of divergence." Divergence doesn't necessarily equal benefit.

[AnAnonymousCivie @AnotherStaffOff]

No clear order. Competing powers, yet deep interdependence.

A wicked problem where control is limited, but the illusion of it persists.

Will we look back at Iran as the spark?

Are we seeing the prologue to a wider war?

Maybe it doesn’t spread. It simmers, interacts, and destabilises across the system—economic shocks, political pressure, and military risk reinforcing each other.

@Hayes1Jonny @pinstripedline @afneil As we know, the resource size has reduced, not demand on the smaller resource. More with less isn't just words. You can't necessarily replace a senior officer with a mid-level, due to experience or various other reasons.

[AnAnonymousCivie @AnotherStaffOff]

@pinstripedline @afneil Not accurate, but not without merit. Oversimplified argument and nuisance is key. Rank≠people mgmt, rank=responsibility. Eg responsible for 3 people and a complex policy area. We need the best/exp; ∴ with good pay=rank. Public sector≠pvt sec, different for good reason.

Symbolic. The #MiracleonIce wasn’t just a hockey upset, it was belief and unity overcoming inevitability, confidence without arrogance.
America led the free world best when it paired strength with legitimacy, inspiring as much as it deterred.
That balance is worth rediscovering.

[1980 Miracle Hockey Team @1980MiracleTeam]

Do you believe in miracles? YES!

On this day in 1980, Team USA defeated the powerful Soviet Union 4–3! A moment that became one of the most iconic upsets in sports history.

Happy Miracle on Ice Day. 🏒🏅🇺🇸

@nicholadrummond This is lost on many in certain Whitehall circles.

@Bricktop_NAFO Peacetime militaries. We don't innovate fast enough. Aversion to try it and see innovation because of purse strings, risk aversion and not the done thing. So it's a procurement programme approach, and we know how that goes.
