Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.
This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.

Rather see a commitment to a nuclear power station at this point.
It's also disgusting to see Torys making plans to raid our North Sea oil reserves and pushing for shale gas. How this ties with green objectives is anyone's guess?
We need to stop being philistines about energy.
Pull the plug on fossil fuel profiteering.

So is the 3% increase for the UK defence or the EU defence, you know that EU ARMY that was never going to happen

For years the British Services have been starved of everything. Now UK Defence is based on all fur coat and no knickers

Will she also defend our Southern Shores effectively by not allowing any of the dinghies to land.
@maryhook9478
January 12, 2024 at 1:18 am
But will she root out wokery in the Armed Forces and bring back recruitment based on good old fashioned meritocracy.
@uingaeoc3905

Sorry – is truss saying increase the current Defence budget BY 3% or FROM 2% to 3% of GDP?

Should be 10% increase over the course of 5 years, and a committed board of expenditure assigned to avoid any wastage.

Assess the threat he says,,, well the number of illegals now far out ways the number of military personnel in our armed forces,,, but it's not an invasion, even though over 90 % are 20 to 35 years of age and male

"I know civil servants who would like to see the army reduced to 60,000."
Then he knows some real fools.
I would also question the motivations of those people. Some of them will simply be idiot beancounters who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. However there is also the serious danger of treason involved as well. Russian or Chinese agents pushing to cripple our armed forces.
@chrisbuster6947
January 12, 2024 at 1:18 am
Defence that's a joke, can't even stop a invasion by rubber dinghy's, and yes it is a invasion pure and simple, with the help of our military, madness utter madness.
@nemosays6337
January 12, 2024 at 1:18 am
Why, they don't defend our borders or what would be of real beneficial interest to the British people, all they do is cause trouble in Ukraine and poke the Russian bear, stop arming Nasties!

Great idea whilst people can't keep them themselves warm. Did anybody notice the General say that the Ukrainian army has lost the equivalent of the entire standing army of the UK ? This figure is 10x what the main stream media, and the government admits to.

Of course citizens want increased military spending while they are being impoverished..Who knows, extra military can be always used against them when they are hungry and cold..
