@gregbagwell Especially when this is what the rest of NATO is up against…. 🙄

@StacieP62036695 The Redcoats return….

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@gregbagwell Haha - the Redcoats return…..

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@PaulBar89006149 @gregbagwell @CaolanReports Get your point, but don’t forget who started this. For a comparison, who started the Blitz on London, and who’s cities were like-for-like bombed in retaliation? Be careful what you wish for!

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@gregbagwell Maybe Duncan Sandys was ahead of his time in 1957?

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@gregbagwell Good assessment, however what is shouting louder than everything else is Reeves’ silence and invisibility over the past week!

@Gabriel64869839 Thank goodness the welfare budget is in safe hands….

@KeithMansfield @afneil The irony isn’t lost either.
An ex-Para as SoS Defence working for a PM who is actively prosecuting ex-Paras…..

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@gregbagwell Do you have any figures for how NATO (and other) countries compare for procurement of similar capabilities? I’d wager that the UK procurement system is not the most efficient, and that a larger part of our costs ends up being spaffed against the wall. Recognising the difficulty.

@gregbagwell The gov’t is fast running out of people who know which end of a rifle is which!

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@gregbagwell Also, @gregbagwell, any candidate to replace John Healey must be mindful that it could be a short-lived promotion should there be a change of PM…..

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@haynesdeborah Why doesn’t Starmer tell Healey and Reeves to clear their diaries for next week and just get this done? Probably because that’s leadership, something so glaringly and obviously lacking!

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@NavyLookout Aaah, would that be the Defence Indecision Plan, or the Defence Indefinitely Postponed plan?

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@gregbagwell Why do you post stuff like this, @gregbagwell, when you know perfectly well what the reaction will be? In my eyes, and I’m sure others think the same, it doesn’t add to your credibility.
Unless you get some kind of weird satisfaction from the replies?

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@nicholadrummond Maybe, but at least our welfare budget is in safe hands….

[Andrew Williams @Jetstream44]

@wraggi74 @BenWallace70 And Poland.

@gregbagwell Blimey! “BREAKING NEWS: It’s LIVE” - I thought for a second the DIP had been published! 🤭
