Every single defence review, we get a collection of service centric views, leaks, and articles, all designed to skew the allocation of budget. Am not 100% sure how effective they are, but they do generate a lot of heat, and I think, pretty corrosive.

The increase of defence spending from 2.3% to 2.5% of GDP will mean an additional 7 billion for defence every year. The NHS spends 7 billion every two weeks.

🆕Our report on Armed Forces Readiness has been published. The report, “Ready for war?” found that the Forces are overburdened, leaving them no opportunity to prepare for warfighting. 📗Read the report: publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5804/cmse…

A very long read on Warrior, from concept to the cancellation of the CSP programme. The opportunities we have squandered over the decades with this vehicle are criminal, absolutely criminal. thinkdefence.co.uk/2022/11/warrio…

Not a single other member of the Security Council recognises Russia’s attempted illegal annexation of Ukrainian territory. Russia will not succeed in this illegal imperialist war. The only question is how much damage they do, how many lives they waste, before they realise that.
