🌹Labour’s Defence Diktat⛓️ expose, part 2:
Of the 21 pledges:
-18 require adherence to EU rules in Defence Policy
-12 request permanent commitment to EU military or funding
-13 demand recognition of EU “sovereignty” in military decision-making
Is this Brexit?
PESCO (EU Defence Union) means UK will👇
-Become a follower - “The Norway Option” - in Defence
-Lose control of some funding, research, exercises
-Defer to EU Foreign Policy
... Does that sound like Brexit?!
🚨 RT to spread the word!
Royal Navy ships MUST be built in Britain.
EU regulations means EU tenders. Transition ends 1st Jan, why is the Government only ‘considering’ changing these restrictions in 2023 ?
Shout out so our £1.5 billion carrier supply ships are built in Britain.

EU defence contract rules could still send more than £1.5bn of contracts out of the UK before we leave them at the end of the year.
Retweet if you support freezing the contracts until we’re out of the rules.
People seem to have forgotten that buried in the withdrawal agreement is a clause which gives TOTAL immunity from any kind of criminal activity or prosecution from such activities for anyone connected with the EU no matter in what capacity they serve.
Why the need for that?
This is concerning. Defence policy should not be continuing in this way post Brexit, as if Brexit hadn’t happened. We do not want common defence procurement or to be at all close to the emerging EU Army.
It's just disgraceful. 17% of pensioners live on less than half the minimum wage and veterans sleep on the streets while illegal immigrants live in hotels at our expense. This is not right @BorisJohnson . You should be ashamed.
