While we still wait on Labour government defence spending plans (the Defence Investment Plan — DIP) to finance last year’s Strategic Defence Review (SDR), let’s keep in mind these salient points when it eventually appears:
1. The current £28 billion shortfall in defence spending over the next four years has nothing to do with implementing the SDR. The £28 billion is simply what’s needed to meet current defence commitments/plans.
2. So funding for SDR would have to be on top of the £28 billion — which would mean tens of billions more over the next five or so years into the early 2030s.
3. The extra money now being floated as what the government is likely to announce — £13.5 billion over four years — wouldn’t even cover half the shortfall never mind produce a penny for the SDR. It’s a pittance compared with what’s required.
4. We currently spend 2.4% GDP on defence (and even that is boosted by some statistical sleights of hand). The only current concrete plan is to go to 2.5/6% in the next financial year. Now the Treasury is saying it doesn’t even want to set 3% as a target before 2034/35 — by which time if Reeves-Starmer-Treasury have their way we will be a minor player in military matters.
5 This government is dishonest the best of times. I fear we’re about to discover that when it comes to the defence of the realm — its primary duty as a government — it is a serial liar.

@ArchRose90 He is also utterly delusional but he’s done the right thing.

[Diane 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 @DianeNeill]

@ArchRose90 He couldn’t go without the lies though could he?
He’s proud of what they’ve achieved-really ?
How the PM is respected here and abroad 🤣🤣🤣🤡

[Spike @dalesman954]

@ArchRose90 I don’t think sending £2 million of taxpayers money to the wretched barbaric Taliban regime in Afghanistan has helped unite this sordid Cabinet.

[Perigrin @ToHellinabucket]

@ArchRose90 Distancing himself from the Defence Investment Plan.
He knows there will be criticism, he doesn't want to face the fallout.
Labour care more about the defence of Ukraine than the UK.
Scrap Net Zero, cut benefits & Foreign Aid & invest in our Armed Forces before it's too late.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Defence Secretary John Healey has just resigned. We need the rest of this incompetent, Zombie Labour government out now.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

So in the blink of an eye, an attempted beheading by a migrant has been turned into a clampdown on freedom of speech by the Labour government. Everything Starmer does is designed to enforce an agenda that no one voted for. As always with him, it’s smoke and mirrors deflection.

Sierra Leone's first lady is finally evicted from London council flat

Fatima Jabbe-Bio had been caught retaining the tenancy of a taxpayer-subsidised flat in Southwark.

This despite living in the luxury presidential lodge in Sierra Leone's capital Freetown.

She should be forced to pay a fine and refund the taxpayer rather than receive a mere slap on the wrist!

Why did this conclusion take so long? How much did this "investigation" cost the taxpayer and was it entirely necessary?

@ProfAliceS @DeraCalla Please name & shame the 2 university proctors involved. I thought they were supposed to be impartial. One assumes these 2 must be trans activists

[Clitoris Maximus @Brendathemighty]

@ProfAliceS It is being presented as 'freedom of speech' by the Proctors, but this is intimidation, harassment and fear. Starts small, gets bigger to the point that some activists end up as terrorists eg the EHRC office vandalism, windows broken, piss thrown everywhere, staff left in fear.

[Laila Cunningham @policylaila]

Remember when they told us the Online Safety Act was just about protecting children?
We warned you exactly where it would lead. I was guilt-tripped on TV that I didn’t care about children. The Uniparty doesn’t believe in free speech. If you want to protect it, vote for it.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

The Government keeps claiming that taking water into public ownership would cost too much.

Yesterday we, along with our fab supporters + Feargal Sharkey + WASP, the campaigners behind Channel 4's Dirty Business, delivered a message loud and clear to them. Their figures are nonsense.

LAWFUL REBELLION

YOUR RIGHT UNDER MAGNA CARTA

Under article 61 of Magna Carta 1215 (the founding document of our Constitution) we have a right to enter into lawful rebellion if we feel we are being governed unjustly. Contrary to common belief our Sovereign and her government are only there to govern us and not to rule us and this must be done within the constraint of our Common Law and the freedoms asserted to us by such Law, nothing can become law in this country if it falls outside of this simple constraint. Article 61 shows quite clearly who really holds the power in this country, that being quite simply us the people; we have Sovereignty not any Parliament and nor can this be taken from us by any Parliament who claim to have taken the people's Sovereignty.

This is how we solve our political woes and take our country back.

Only we can save ourselves.

Please repost.

Just a reminder.

Gupreet Digwa, the brother of murderer Vickrum Digwa has STILL NOT BEEN CHARGED for being caught on Police cameras conspiring with his brother to cover up the truth about Henry Nowak's murder

Gupreet was recorded in the back of a police van talking to his brother in Punjabi about how they would lie to Police when detailing what happened.

He's been arrested for possession of weapons but we demand full justice

This whole family should be behind bars

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

I don’t support rioting from anyone but when BLM did it, Labour said that MPs should speak to the black community and listen to the concerns.

Following the scenes in Belfast, has any Labour MP mentioned speaking to white, working class communities to listen to their concerns?

[Terrence K. Williams @w_terrence]

Karmelo Anthony’s supporters are now threatening to riot and burn down cities after he was found guilty.

Riots for what?

Do y’all think it’s okay for a Black person to kill a white person with no consequences?

That is racist.

Somebody lost their son. Somebody lost their child. Austin Metcalf is never coming home.

The only people who should be angry, sad, heartbroken, and devastated right now are Austin Metcalf’s parents.

They lost their son.

This should have never been turned into a race issue. It was not about Black versus white.

Wrong is wrong.

You do not get to stab somebody to death and then have people threaten to riot because justice was served.

Karmelo Anthony was found guilty.

Justice was served.

MPs who go on social media should not turn off replies. They are public employees.

@FamEdTrust @WilliamClouston Students are generally indoctrinated left wing activists , they should be happy about this distribution of wealth from their debt to the workshy.
