Let’s pause net zero for a decade and see who cares about putting defence above Ed Miliband’s expensive energy obsessions.

[Kate McCann @KateEMcCann]

So much of John Healey’s resignation letter is damning but lines that should really worry those inside government trying to make changes and those outside hoping for them?

That despite a war in Ukraine, a war in Iran, cyber threats, unpredictable allies, the impact of energy and resource insecurity on the U.K., this Prime Minister made promises he knew he could not keep and shut his own well-respected Defence Secretary out of the process to agree funding for the DIP to try and push through something inadequate and save his own political blushes.

In the same week he welcomed Macron, Mertz and Zelensky to Downing Street to stand in front of flags and promise unwavering commitment, knowing the money to pay for it didn’t exist.

Massive massive fine for dpd needed to stop this nonsense... Dpd are required by the law to check citizenship of their workers.

Effing bullshit. He's happy with a plan he hasn't seen. God help us.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Peter Kyle: the plan is great

Naga Munchetty: have you seen the plan?

Kyle: no

Munchetty: So how do you know its great?

Peter Kyle: "Because I have faith in a PM.. to fund the plan & design a plan & lead a plan, of course & he is the PM that is fit for the moment we're in"

YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP IF YOU TRIED ......A Blackburn councillor who was fined for fly tipping a whole van load of his household rubbish at Witton Park in 2021 , has just been handed the enviromental porfolio, hes now responsible for fly tipping !! Hussain Akhtar got a £400 fine for doing his own dumping and now is in charge of enviromenatl matters !! Oh if you didnt laugh you would cry , this country is insane

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

First the Defence Secretary resigned saying the government is making the country and our troops less safe.

Then the Veterans Minister went, saying the government is abandoning our veterans and it’s harming our national defence.

It’s clear the armed forces have lost all faith in Keir Starmer. A Prime Minister who cannot command the respect of our military cannot continue in office.

Britain’s national security must come before Keir Starmer’s ego. The Prime Minister’s time is up.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

What this means is the Defence Investment Plan has now been shelved until Keir Starmer leaves office.

Suicidal empathy is the Labour government splurging £10 billion a year on welfare for foreigners, £13 billion a year on foreign aid, and £15 billion in the coming years on hotels & HMOs for illegals and then saying “sorry no money for our own national defence” 🤡

[Harry Cole @MrHarryCole]

Who is signing the drone warrants tonight in the UK?

Who would give the go order to engage Iranian threats?

Who is responsible for SF operations in Ukraine this evening?

Labour chaos leaving UK rudderless.

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.

I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Letter to the PM below.🫡🫡🫡⬇️⬇️

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Brutal Al Carns’ resignation letter:

“…the NI Legacy Bill. I have worked to fix the Bill from the inside, but it remains unfit for purpose. It risks failing the very veterans it claims to protect.”

Nobody in good conscience can support a PM who prosecutes British war heroes.
