Labour's position on defence 'a danger to this country', claims Grant Shapps
Over the term of the Conservative government for the last 14 years, defence spending was cut, and is now rising once again.
We put to Defence Secretary Grant Shapps that, in fact, there is not a huge amount of difference between the government and Labour's positions - the Conservatives are also now raising spending when economic conditions allow.

Walking in London, I'm more worried about defending myself from cyclists on the pavement.
I wouldn't trust Gregg Schnapps to clean my toilet.

Labour and Conservative aren't serious about defence
Maybe decorating the captain's cabin qualifies as a 'new' ship just like a new ward means a new hospital for the Tories.
The Tories close the shipyards in the northeast.

Unfortunately sitting on our hands until wars break out has been something of a British specialisation since the 1930s.
yeah they talk... They don't take action...
If tanks can be easily taken out with the use of modern technological weapons, then it is pretty obvious that the bigger steel on water battleships could also be taken out in a war.?

The enemy got bombs, we got bombs too. Its the defence of the ships and how good the bombs are that counts.

Building ships is a nonsense without a context of "why"/purpose. How about more soldiers instead, given the professional Army today is smaller than at any time since 1780. There is also NO substance behind the 2.5% and how it will be funded through sacking civil servants, when growth in CS numbers is in many ways thanks to the disaster that is Brexit, repatriating functions and _costs_ from Brussels and is married to the cost reductions (like in police numbers), thanks to the Tories having screwed the economy with highest national debt and taxation since WW2. Then there is the trick Cameron played to get to 2% - adding the nuclear deterrent into the overall defence budget meaning conventional forces are even more impoverished. 10 names Shapps just pushing the usual vaporous announcements/lies as Sunak. Soft touch interview as expected from Sky.
