Trooping the Colour, how much do you pay for this ridiculous charade?

£20,000,000

That is 800 Nurses, 500 Doctors or 1000 Teachers.

We need all of them, we don't need this.

[Chagos 'Deal' Spending. @ChagosDeal]

@sargo_dy There wasn’t. You’re extremely naive.

[Chagos 'Deal' Spending. @ChagosDeal]

In other words, the UK is planning to pay Mauritius annually over 5 times their entire defence budget.

Doesn’t sound like there’s any threat to our continued use of a military base there - other than the government’s humiliation kink.

[Dylan Sargesson @sargo_dy]

@ChagosDeal It will cost about £100million per year, and we get guaranteed continued use of an excellent military base.

For Truss' tax cuts it would cost more than £40billion per year, and we'd get nothing for it.

@GabiMoomin Yup. Really stupid move from this government - and its predecessors that opened this political Pandora’s box.

Secure at home, strong abroad.

[Chagos 'Deal' Spending. @ChagosDeal]

The cost of the Chagos ‘deal’ is equal to the combined flyaway & ancillary costs of 116 F-35A Lightning II JSFs.

[Nicholas Drummond @nicholadrummond]

So, it appears that the RAF will purchase the F-35A Lightning II JSF over and above more F-35B or more Typhoons. This will be a controversial decision to some, but it de-risks GCAP / Tempest while increasing combat jet numbers. However, it is also tacit recognition that the F-35B is difficult to maintain in maritime environments. I’m not sure where this leaves carrier strike.
