Yesterday Keir Starmer did a Ben Stokes. His defence announcement was all about his own legacy and his own ego > Daily Mail > https://t.co/uNQQc1SHvn
How does the government intend to make £10.7billion worth of efficiency savings?
The Defence Investment Plan is borderline unreadable with long, jargon-filled, impenetrable sentences
At no point does it state that one of the biggest savings will come from delaying spending on upgrading military housing
I am already picking up a lot of scepticism in government that these efficiency savings will be achieved
It matters because every £1 not saved in these efficiencies is a £1 that will need to be raised through tax rises or cuts elsewhere
1) Reform and Service redesign - £1.1billion
'The new Defence Operating Model (DOM) is now in operation, providing a clear articulation of how Defence operates as a unified enterprise to translate political direction into strategy, planning, and delivery. The model, which will be further embedded this year, ensures Defence starts to become warfighting ready and capable of rapid adaptation in an increasingly volatile global environment while delivering the SDR.'
2) Workforce and resourcing - £3.3billion
'As part of efforts to improve efficiency and value for the taxpayer we will deliver on the SDR recommendation to reduce Civil Service workforce costs by at least 10% by 2030. This includes reshaping the workforce to focus on the prioritised outcomes set out through this plan. In addition, we will continue to focus on critical digital, engineering and project delivery skills, building and incentivising these so that Defence has the skills it needs to deliver the ambition of the SDR.'
3) Digital workforce, AI and automation - £200million
'Digital change is putting advanced decision-making, targeting and cyber tools directly into the hands of the warfighter while also transforming corporate services through automated HR, finance and commercial processes to reduce burden and deliver faster, cheaper support.
'Defence also understands the importance of Corporate Service automation, with the Corporate Services Modernisation (CSM) programme being a key driving force, leading redesign and automation of finance, HR and commercial processes and service provision. This will result in significant benefit across all areas of Defence and enable the release of military roles to the front-line – driving Defence productivity as well as cashable efficiencies.'
4) Infrastructure - £2billion
'Defence is reforming its infrastructure by recapitalising the estate, optimising land use and assets. The Defence Estate Optimisation programme and Defence Housing Strategy are transforming the military housing estate to deliver better support for those who serve.'
5) Acquisition - £3.7billion
'Under the NAD, Defence is reforming its approach to acquisition and the relationship with industry. Through reforms, including accelerated commercial pathways, procurement segmentation, portfolio-driven acquisition, and category management, we will drive pace and agility into procurement, improving supply chain resilience and our ability to scale industrial capacity if required. These will prioritise outcomes, enhance collaboration with industry, reduce duplication, and deliver greater value for money'

Starmer shows no remorse, not even a word of sorrow for the victim and her family.
A sick, depraved man who will go down in history as one of the worst PMs in history.
Want a brand new home worth £250,000 but can’t afford it?
Simply break into Britain and you get to live in one for free.
Remember, this is what the Tories and Labour did to you.
Spare us the sanctimonious lecture. In 2015 you were on Lesbos welcoming illegal boat migrants into Europe. Now you’re Home Secretary preaching “Britain has always offered sanctuary” while small boats keep landing and British taxpayers get the bill. Britain is full. The economy is screwed. Services are collapsing. Rape gangs scar our towns. Close the borders. Return the boats.
No more lectures thank you, your open border past is showing.
How many young people in the U.K. and newly married couples would give their eye teeth to live in properties like these?
Yet they're handed out to third worlders as a reward for cheating their way into the country.
This country disgusts me.
This week Labour government is treating us as fools
They’re putting illegal immigrants into brand-new homes which hard-working British youngsters could not even dream of affording
No wonder so many illegal immigrants cross the Channel
Illegal immigrants should be deported, not put up a brand-new homes
