John Healey (Defence Secretary) resigns.

anyway.. back to the thread...
Starmer would rather waste money funding Milibands nonsense projects, than invest in defence.

defending the country against the perilous affects of climate change is more important than some imagined invasion by Russia.

No need - it hasn't been edited.

More vague waffle.
I have an acquaintance like that.
They start talking about something, and after a few minutes of their monologue, I have to stop them and ask, "what are you talking about, what are you referring to?"
They have a habit of assuming everyone else is on the same page as them all the time.

More vague waffle.

If it was no longer sufficient the shortfall would be funded from general taxation. That rarely occurs.
The NI Fund has maintained an accumulated surplus for decades.
There is an annual financial report available on the NI fund.

Yes.

The point you're making, not so much.

check your sums

I made no mention of any sums.
What is your point?

 

[motorbiking]

Yes.

The point you're making, not so much.

Ed Miliband's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) was allocated a capital budget of £62.8 billion for the five-year period spanning 2025-2026 to 2029-2030.

How is this going to stop climate change?

Why not look at the policy and make your criticisms about that, rather than a vague criticism about the fact that it exists?

Where did I allude to that?
You might want to re-read my initial post, instead of vague waffling.

It isn't.

But it will go some way towards coping with the affects of climate change.

Happy to help.

how do you propose we stop the changed global atmosphere being created by the rest of the world from engulfing us ?

put a giant dome around each community.

That'll have the added benefit for the Gumbies who can have their whites only paradise and leave the rest of us in peace to enjoy the benefits of a multicultural culture. We shall also demand they refrain from cultural appropriation: no more blues or jazz music for them - no curries, either. No more Thai food or anything else other than shepherd's pie and spotty dick for dinner.

We're spending an increasing amount, 2.5% of our GDP, on defense but our conventional forces are dwindling.

20% of that, £11 Billion a year, goes on the nuclear deterrent. That's as much as the army, air force or navy receive.
