Reminder that the conservatives came into power to fix the damage left by Labour after their failed attempt at dealing with the 2008 financial crisis. They had a difficult start and also a difficult end with Covid 19 a global pandemic. Given the difficulties they faced I am afraid to say they did quite well.

Simple fix: stop the Hercules fleet being sold off. Put the Trench one Typhoons being reduced to spares. Get the Warriors back in service and the older challengers (the Russians have taken many older tanks out of reserve and in the end of the day any tank is better than no tank. Stop spending huge amounts of money on two carriers neither of which we can man or put on aircraft that can fly off it. Totally revamp the recruitment service. And get Industry to churn out the ammo and kit we have sent to Ukraine. Stop buying new shiny and very expensive kit until we get some "Mass" back and and least be able to field an Armoured Brigade. Cull the MoD.

The mistake is thinking in terms of GDP. You need the spending to meet the threat. Russia is a shadow of the Soviet Union. We see they can't fight. Their resources are being depleted. So, don't just pick a GDP number and claim that is what defence spending should be. And we know just spending is not good enough. All of Europe has great systems on paper and then they don't work when they try to use them. That's ridiculous.

An arbitrary % of GDP figure is absolutely meaningless. Just because you're spending more money, doesn't mean you're spending it well.

Starmers Dad was a tool maker he will sort it

Prices are going up maybe buying now is better than paying more later as goods continue to rise in price? What happens to buying power if there’s a world conflict when no one wants to sell anything because they need what they have/produce, surely we need a real capability to produce ammunition and weapon systems both simple and the more high end technologies ourselves inside the UK and having large stockpiles of the raw materials required and the machinery it takes to make production lines. Producing a much larger drones industry might be something we can both use and sell to other countries which could offset the cost and this approach could be considered in other areas of procurement if successful. There seems to be so much needed, but considering how we go about buying and building what we need, is as important as getting the equipment needed, times are changing maybe traditional methods of purchasing are the way to go or maybe new methods are needed or a mixture? But it seem obvious a larger amount is needed for the UK forces now if we want a tier 1 capable force not half baked promises of 2.5% when it’s possible to do so, wars don’t wait until a country is financially ready, and protecting the UK is perhaps the most fundamental requirement of any government elected! Personally as a UK citizen I don’t mind paying for an armed force I can be proud of, even if that meant a separate tax that I knew was only for def £5/month from every tax payer plus what they get now, or an amount similar, surely this would make a difference? Even if unpopular if it were explained properly the public may not like it but would understand and prefer to be safe, specially if there were a world conflict and at the least as a much stronger deterrent force than we offer currently!

At least if theyre constantly deployed on operations they wont have to look at the mouldy walls of their accomodation blocks and family housing. 😢

It boils down to funding defence spending has been cut by labour/ conservative governments. This will mean that cuts will have to be made elsewhere. Regardless of party politics.

Readiness of military is in the numbers. Government military spending that is. 2.5 percent of gdp is pointless spending, readiness doesn’t exist at such low levels. It fall short of replacement and relevant equipment upgrades. Additionally, a worse case scenario of mobilization of nation, the time to mobilize depends on readiness. This cost well above twice the 2.5 gdp levels. Enough of the social hand outs and let’s be ready for the Putin in the world.

I think it might happen but it depends on other things succeeding. Perhaps if Starmer invests in public works projects and the manufacturing sector he can turbo-charge the economy and the taxes he could raise from the full employment can take military spending to 2.5%

wed a have a pretty decent military of we scrapped Trident

The PM can make sincere attempts to de-escalate the war by acknowledging NATO's role in making peace with Russia as impossible as it had been with the Soviet Union.

This country is in a similar situation it was in the 1920's and 30's and even when World War 2 was foreshadowed the government of the day still responded with apathy and indifference so, how can anyone believe that the situation will be any different. Tony Blair's Labour government kept defence spending to a minimum with a following 14 years of Conservative spending cuts across the board which involved armed forces redundancies in the mid - late 90's, I should know I was made redundant in 1994! There have however been pay rises in the public sector and civil service throughout these periods and where MP's were given an 11% pay rise as apposed to the mere 2 - 3% the public received, does anyone remember this? and yet increases in public spending were negligible! When war does come, (ww3) and it is, this country will not be able to meet it's obligations not only to NATO but also in defence of the homeland, manpower is at an all time low comparable with that of the 1920 -30's period and equipment, which has improved, is not sufficient enough in quantity or supply, it has always been the case that any government in office has always tended to the lowest bidder when procuring equipment for the military, which on occasions has affected quality, subsequent performance and longevity, unlike the US who have no issues in spending on and funding their military! With typical British understatement it will be that as World War 3 fully evolves the 'Government', as it did in 1940 after the evacuation (retreat) at Dunkirk, will go into panic mode and funding will suddenly appear in relative quantities, but beware! taxes will significantly rise and rationing will definitely occur on a par with WW2, however due to the differences in standards of living between that period and now with the disposable mentality of today, instead of make do and mend of yesteryear, many will not be able to adjust and adapt so the Black Market will become a massive industry even larger than in ww2 when only the wealthy and rich could actually afford it!

prior military experience does not matter, its engagement and willingness to work with his staff and have an ear for the troops that counts. As example Boris Pistorius, german minister of defense. Does a stellar job. His prior military experience is 15 months of mandatory service in 1980, so 43 years ago. He is not in the reserve, his military rank was corporal (43 years ago) and he has never served afterwards, so you can confidently say, he is bascicly a blank sheet regarding service. Stll, he is engaged, motivated, has an open ear for the troops etc. you dont need a 5 star general running the MOD.
