@KemiBadenoch@Conservatives I was enriched with generous Pay Awards from the Conservatives during my service.
Which now puts Armed Forces pay in a 25% deficit.
I suggest you take back seat commenting on defence.
@AlistairCarns@JuliaHB1 Al was one of my very best commanders when i was in post. The MOD needs him. This Government needs his knowledge and leadership. If no.10 wont listen to him and Healey we really are screwed.
@kevinhollinrake@BenWallace70 Your government and MP’s came and visited me on Ops in Somalia and touted the idea of cutting X factor and removing the Operational Allowance
I really enjoyed the 5% payrise we got from your government over a 7 year period. Put those figure in graph….
@FredThomasUK@SkyNews It’s all about funding you can’t say beyond funding. We can’t fund anything at this moment in time right now. Always has and always will be.
You should know being a veteran, albeit for about 5 mins. Show moral courage that you used in service and you and Carns follow Healey.
@Vgb67@PennyMordaunt Firstly I think you need to check who ordered the carriers and whose constituency they were built in.
Secondly they were £6.2Bn for both.
The only factual part of this post is your last sentence.
@JohnHealey_MP At least you have had some moral courage.
Let hope other MP’s turn the job down and drag this out.
Change your bio to former John. Good for you.
@haynesdeborah The government keep saying they have given the Armed when Forces a 14 % pay rise since coming to power in reality it’s 2.8%.
They are a joke when it comes to defence.
@DefenceHQ This Government has delivered a pay increase of 2.8% over 3 Pay reviews.
There fixed it for you.
Why is the MoD quoting “this government” but you tell SP to be politically impartial
