@gregbagwell This is fair - it’s also entirely reasonable to set a firm expectation for MOD to spend what they’ve been allocated wisely first, before dishing out any more.
@LOS_Fisher Who specifically is this in HMT? Reeves? Bell? They should be called out by name for what they’re doing and held to account - it’s a cluster.
@Tonkafanxv@thinkdefence The management share options, at ridiculous multiples, were just too tempting for the DERA leadership. I remember Chisholm coming to staff share scheme roadshows in 2001 literally saying “I need your £5 notes” - it was grubby.
