We know how the game is played and all we get is more delay tactics by the very ones we appoint to defend us!

[@gerarddearie-zd2gb]

If Trump said that 2X2=4, it doesn't make it wrong, nor that you endorse him by agreeing on that point. What a silly point.

[@tayyabullah9260]

Absolutely right. Could not have depicted it better.

[@SimonSmith-yd6tt]

Gets the popcorn out and waits for the "defending our shores" bores

[@everready800]

The Russians will be crossing the channel any minute now!

[@fasthracing]

I'm sure our enemies will wait 5 or so years until we have increased our defence spending.

[@BasedLibertarianZ]

'The military industrial complex liked that'

[@everready800]

And those on their boards that give "expert" advice about all the dangers we face.

[@danielrawlings8355]

UK wasted £450bn on Covid 19.

[@danielrawlings8355]

UK has roughly £3 trillion debt.

[@kezzakemble2138]

Sorry but the military should know after 14 years of conservative cuts

[@fredmercury1314]

Yeah? _Paid for with what?_

[@shamanahaboolist]

The magic money tree they told us didn't exist when Corbyn was running.

[@cottonsockzc2405]

That magic money tree they said they don’t have .

[@shamanahaboolist]

@@cottonsockzc2405 it's only not there when someone independent is running

[@darrenhopkins6829]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Look at his smile after they got more. Keir feeding the military industrial complex as planned. Watch our talking head media te us this is good just like funding foreign wars is good.

[@shamanahaboolist]

Exactly correct.

[@everready800]

Follow the "retired" experts demanding more spending and see what defence companies boards they sit on. The motive is almost always money but sometimes ideologically driven.

[@davidcooks2379]

Would you prefer to give half of Europe to putin so that he can attack us with more resources?

[@TYGERDJWORLDS]

nothing will change under the labour government

[@bigfisher4354]

Same old labour. Which magical money tree are they shaking this time?

[@OJoRob]

Opposed to the tories who wasted billions on useless PPE?

[@everready800]

The debt tree.

[@danielrawlings8355]

Each time you create a credit, you simultaneously create a debt, cancelling each other out. In absolute terms, money doesn't exist.

[@michaelburgess8415]

Ukraine's fight for freedom, good...the Palestinians fight against genocide, not so much...Pollard is no different from all other bland, suited hypocrites....

[@jimoconnor2594]

When does conscription start

[@ProfSimonHolland]

big offer....you two presenters...free one way tickets to Trumpland.

[@danielrawlings8355]

All profit from all US airlines doesn't total half the money spent on Ukraine. Where does this money come from?

[@hattmarvey1989]

Will they assign a huge budget and draconian powers to a new "internal terrorism" department? These powers could then be applied to anyone who does not agree with their ridiculous ideologies.
