Perhaps the grimmest part of John Healey’s brutal resignation letter is that defence spending, projected to be 2.6% GDP by 2027, will only reach 2.68% in 2030. A pathetic 0.08% increase over three years after all that Starmer rhetoric about the dangerous times we live in and how UK would lead the way stepping up to the crease. A real leader would have told Reeves to cough up the dosh and ordered Miliband to hand over a big chunk of his net zero budget. But he’s probably too weak to do either.
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.

The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images
Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph reveal the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people
The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".
In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.
That was the only way that "nature" could win.
However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.
The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.
The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear
This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.
Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"
Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.
The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.
Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.

Did you ever think you'd live to see the day where a WOMAN leading the largest Union in the UK with the largest number of women members would argue against women's right to single sex spaces in the workplace?
No me neither.
Find a better union ladies.
Also the guidance doesn't cover workplaces, it's not even relevant, that's covered by separate legislation. Absolute clowns.
Women!
This manually expressive man of serious mien and his colleagues have decided to provide you with "more private cubicles", so that you may shelter from the men they have decided should be allowed to share your women only spaces.
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Then please sue them.
The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils.

The Fire Brigades Union has announced its intention to break the law. What a depressing chapter this is in the history of the trade union movement. Their position radiates contempt for women as well as the law.
He Punished Officers For Telling The Truth. Then He Was Arrested For Stealing From Them.
Mukund Krishna was the first civilian chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales. He was a former management consultant born in India who relocated to the UK in 2007 and had no frontline policing experience. He was paid £701,100 a year, more than twice the salary of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and thirty times the salary of a starting constable. Across 2024 and 2025 his total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families.
On March 3rd 2026 the Police Federation publicly called for a minimum seven percent pay rise for officers, warning that morale and recruitment were suffering. The following morning Krishna was arrested by the City of London Police's Domestic Corruption Unit on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position. He has now been sacked. He will receive no further payments.
Before his arrest Krishna had used the Police Federation to do two things. Collect £1.4 million across two years. And punish officers who told uncomfortable truths about policing.
Rick Prior, the head of the Metropolitan Police Federation, was suspended in October 2024 after warning publicly that his members were increasingly nervous about challenging people from some ethnic minorities for fear of being labelled racist. His offence was stating precisely what the Henry Nowak case, the West Yorkshire Police sectarian policing story and the Rotherham and Rochdale grooming gang inquiries had all documented independently. Fear of a racism accusation was paralysing British policing. Prior named it. Krishna suspended him.
Richard Cooke was removed as chairman of the West Midlands Police Federation for posting a comment online disputing suggestions his force was institutionally racist. Krishna removed him too.
The High Court ruled both suspensions unlawful and a breach of Article 10 free speech rights. The Police Federation spent more than half a million pounds of its members' money defending the claim. Members who were using food banks. The man authorising that expenditure was collecting £701,100 a year and incurring legal costs exceeding £1 million in 2024 alone.
The problems were visible long before the arrest. In January 2025 Craig Hewitt, the Head of Civil Claims and National Board Member, resigned with a damning email exposing alleged long-standing financial mismanagement. A Tortoise Media investigation found that the federation had used 14 confidentiality agreements in settlements costing more than £700,000 and that multiple senior officials faced disciplinary proceedings after questioning Krishna's approach. Glassdoor reviews from employees described a toxic working environment and a marked increase in questionable dismissals and suspensions of very senior officials.
The pattern is now complete and precisely documented. A civilian management consultant with no policing background was installed as the first chief executive of the organisation representing rank and file officers. He suppressed the officers who named the two tier policing problem. He spent members' money silencing them. Warning signs of financial mismanagement were documented and ignored. And he was arrested the morning after his organisation demanded better pay for officers some of whom could not afford to feed their families.
"Across 2024 and 2025 Krishna's total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families."
Ed Davey has written to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson demanding she WITHDRAW official EHRC guidance protecting female-only spaces in toilets and changing rooms.
Let that land.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission — a statutory body — has produced legally grounded guidance telling employers and public bodies that biological men should not access women’s single-sex spaces.
This is not opinion.
This is not politics.
This is the settled legal position following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the meaning of “woman” under the Equality Act.
And Ed Davey wants it gone.
His stated reason?
The guidance is not “compatible with long-standing British values.”
British values.
He used those words to argue AGAINST protecting women’s single-sex spaces.
The same Liberal Democrats who lecture the country about tolerance, inclusion and human rights are now lobbying a Labour minister to tear up statutory guidance that protects every woman in Britain who walks into a changing room, a refuge or a hospital ward.
This is not a fringe position within the Lib Dems.
Their leader wrote the letter.
The party has chosen its side.
It is not the side of women.
Repost if you think women’s single-sex spaces should be protected.
At least 14 males ran in the Female category in UK parkrun today.
One got 1st Female. He’s now amassed 101 1st Female finishes - 100 more than the 1st Male he got once in nearly 5 years running in the Male category.
Another was Labour councillor Kaz Self who famously tried…
Last night PSG fans rioted during and after the Champions League final.
57 police officers were injured.
Cars and shops set alight.
One mob even tried to storm a police station.
Police arrested 780.
22,000 police were deployed.
Presumably, if they are drawn to play an English club in next year’s Champions League, all the people who claimed they wanted Maccabi Tel Aviv banned on grounds of public safety (and not because they were in fact a bunch of anti-Jewish racist obsessives), will be demanding the French fans are banned too?
