“I haven’t been included in the Defence Investment Plan. I’ll be really honest I only saw it two weeks ago”
Al Carns neatly illustrates the chaos surrounding the Government’s handling of the Defence Investment Plan. Even ministers within defence, with the experience and expertise he has, have played almost no part in composing it.
The Government simply are not taking defence seriously.
@MikeyDT1979 Other than having worked in business, co-founded a business and earning a PhD in economic development you mean?
Sorry to bring facts into the twitterverse I know it’s a challenge for hashtag warriors.
Inside Wes Streeting’s final cabinet meeting:
“I asked to see Keir after the meeting and one of his team said ‘he’s not in the right frame of mind to talk to you right now’".
@wesstreeting on Keir Starmer being in the wrong job.
This is illuminating.
“..oversaw..” that is an interesting choice of word.
Because as Suella knows I did not draft that bill. I did not see it prior to its introduction. I was, as she knows, only asked to take it through the Commons hours before it was heard. Nor was I given any authority to alter it- but I did make asks to do so to the Cabinet Office- to change the gender-neutral language wording to female wording.
All this is a matter of record. As are the names of those that drafted it. As are the members of the PLB Committee which would have cleared it, a Committee which included Suella as the Attorney General. Given that the Bill was about her maternity leave I assumed she would have taken an interest.
Perhaps I was wrong to make such assumptions. And to take her thanks and delight at it being introduced that she expressed to me at the time- in writing- as her genuine feelings.
As I say, illuminating.
