It also saw us 5-0 at what, HT, against a dire spurs side

Woeful player Has been from about day 1

This is exactly how we should have been playing ages ago

imagine that, playing a normal formation!!

No, not really

Do what?

No. I am in favour of proper defence spending by all the major powers in Europe, so that we do not have to get the begging bowl out to the USA to sort affairs in our own back yard

we do have some modern bits of kit and some excellent training. Europe as a whole does have some power. However, what it lacks without the USA is a coherent command and control, an appropriate level of sustainability, and should the USA actually pull support, assets like the F35 are not effective at all.

You are right. Net zero projects could be cut to raise more money for Defence

Will be no more then

My view is that we are far nearer the end of fighting now, than at any time in the last 3 years - largely due to trump's right or wrongs (or complete removal from the norms). Ukraine cannot (and could never) win, so an end soon is the only outcome.

This is a couple of examples of what is used with out Foreign Aid money It is not hard to find. Another example is the fleet of EVs for the Albanian prison service

and Bail out Germany.... Nah, you are alright

Stamer was met with the same 'heckler' They did not have a slanging match though

And yet he will probably force a ceasefire/peace in Ukraine. As opposed to another 3 years of the meat grinder cracking on

The millioms of £s spent enhancing gender outcomes in Nepal will take a hit, I should imagine Along with the money we sent to india (for some bizarre reason)

Exactly Trump knows full well the Western world cannot function as it does unless it is guaranteed by the USA. Now, rightly or wrongly, he is taxing us all for decades of this privilege

Yeah, OK. When is the unprecedented 2nd state visit?

It was due to results, as he was an arse in the media to be fair

Really? Is that why he is literally holding court whilst we all kiss his arse?

I bet Zelensky did not imagine it going like that. If this brings about the end of the war, then that is a bonus

You are funny

Plenty of people here was various bans lifted on the lunatic Shamema Begum

Despite a very small uplift in defence spending, more cuts to major assets are just around the corner... At least the Government have a justifiable pot of money to pay for the Chagos islands when we do our best to give them away.
