Devastating personal statements by John Healey & Al Carns

Expect leadership bid from one of them or joint effort

Starmer & Reeves should hang their heads in shame

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.

It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.

Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.

We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

@AlistairCarns had a distinguished military career. It is damning that Benn, Starmer, Hermer, Reeves and others would not listen to him on lawfare, the Northern Ireland Bill, on defence transformation or on financial resources; and all credit to this RM veteran for stepping into the breach and his resignation on principle.

His dynamite resignation, on the back of the Healey exit represents the necessary detonation of a political bomb under UK defence; highlighting how screwed up it all really is, how badly Starmer is lying to the country, and how totally irresponsible is this @UKLabour government.

Carns is very right on the big things, the MoD and the “centre” are not facing reality on the changing technologies of war, they are not getting the resources they need and they are not defending veterans from lawfare. On this latter and vital point, this is led and encouraged by the UK’s own Attorney General as chief back-stabber.

For this, Hermer should be the next to go. And by the way, don’t expect much from the Starmer-loyalist, ex-Para Jarvis….not every Politician has the guts to do what Carns and Healey have just done…

Since this was published Saturday morning it’s been revealed that the Royal Navy’s entire available fleet of hunter-killer submarines is stuck in port unable to sail — all five Astute class subs currently laid up awaiting maintenance and other repair work. Leaves the UK’s sub-sea internet and power cables dangerously vulnerable to sabotage by the Kremlin

Twenty years ago there were two cricket teams in my English village.

Today there are none, and the guys in the pub on the square probably couldn’t name a single England cricketer.

Sky killed English cricket — full stop.

PAT MCFADDEN: EVERY MEETING I HAVE IS "WHO CAN WE TAX IN ORDER TO PAY BENEFITS TO OTHERS"

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

Rachel Reeves has found a new way to tax work: call it “pension reform”, then quietly slap National Insurance on the very mechanism millions use to save for retirement.

HMRC now admits that once her £2,000 cap on salary sacrifice kicks in from 2029, around 2.9–3.3 million workers will respond by cutting back pension saving, including roughly 666,000 basic‑rate taxpayers earning under £50k.

The Treasury still spins this as a clampdown on “high earners piling cash into pensions without paying a penny in tax” – but their own FOI figures show the majority of those scaling back are higher‑rate taxpayers while hundreds of thousands on ordinary salaries lose the NI advantage too.

Meanwhile, most of the £4.8–£5bn haul is expected to come from employers, who’ll now pay full NI on sacrificed pay above the cap – a straight tax on jobs and pay packets dressed up as fairness. If this is what Labour calls “rewarding work”, what does punishing it look like?

Here are two other UK power records:
1. Highest industrial energy costs in the world.
2. Second highest domestic energy costs in the world.
As E Miliband says, we’re setting an example for the rest of the world. Indeed we are. Which is why nobody is following us.
