It's great to spend other people's money 🤗

My word. We now have a whole new forest of magic money trees.

Money is an illusions the stock market is a Ponzy scheme.

If you think 'ramps up' is an acceptable term for only spending 2 5% GDP by 2030, no wonder the British military is so underfunded. In 1984 Britain was spending 5.5% GDP on the military. We waste billions of pounds in Britain a year. We have a complete breakdown of government, opposition and the civil service. Local councils also wasting money. I cant be bothered to list everything off, but if Britain was governed correctly, we could easily have 5 to 6% GDP spent on the military. Britain should have a futuristic home defense system in place already. Just like WW2 Britain again lacking any leadership on rapidly building it all in preparation, instead waiting for a major conflict and suffering to do anything. Take self sufficiency in energy, food and production/manufacturing, we learned nothing from WW2.

It's not cold war levels, we was spending 7% in 1955 and around 5% as the cold war ended.

Probably more transparent then. A lot of our taxes effectively gets laundered. So it might 5% off us using Russia an excuse, 2% ends up in the hands of our troops.

@@r200ti The amount of corruption over here is trivial. It was definitely NOT more transparent then either! We don't need an "excuse" to raise defence spending, it's just reflecting what the current security environment is. We've had 30 years of peace dividend, the world changes thoughz so we need to too

THEY STEEL IT ANYWAY

You mean he's said that's what he wants to do, then he realises that we dont have any money...

It's always by design. Makes a few sick, corrupt individuals very rich. Globally people must refuse to play.

"if i tell my enemy what i'm doing, i win"

2.5% is no where near Cold War levels.

Yeah, cause taking money from the poorest of Brits to help other countries is a GREAT idea … let’s just forget that you’ve got billions in the bank. 🙄

Tax corporations appropriately

How many wealthy businesspersons put their money in tax havens? Or shell companies?

Got to protect those bankers

What us a mirror trade?

Plug tax loopholes used by the ruch ti evade taxes

Thanks to Nato 👍

Sunak wants to build up the UK military and stop illegal immigration.Wish the US could handle both of those things.

@cockneycharm3970 yeah, same thing here. Politicians always promise to fix the border/illegal immigration but prefer to use it as a political football.

Sunak copying Starmer, Starmer also said 2025 - 2030 spending would go up to 3% is sunak going to back that?

Russophobia is a terrible blight … you have my deepest sympathy .

Well done. Tory has played a blinder with his £75B promise on defence spending. A bit like Klopp & Liverpool getting fit & in form Trent & Jota & Endo & Gakpo & Mo Salah back just in time. It will help Tory a lot in polls. Voters know historically Labour are always very very weak on defence & fighting terror. Once GE starts, their lead will melt away as Labour chose alleged jew hater racist MP's ( like Azar Ali to be Rochdale MP & others)

That money has probably already been spent on other countries

Russia producing 7x more weapons than Nato ( NY Times) we have about 35 operational tanks, a carrier we are looking to sell as we can’t get a crew even though Navy has took away the swimming test 😂 and we can’t even produce steel. Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Sunak

even if it went to 10% it wouldn't matter, it would line certain contractors pockets.. Would any amount in the uk actually help defend the country i doubt it, the most we get is mass immigration for cheap non native soldiers, but they'll all flee once war breaks out and realise they're being put on the front line kek.

It would almost make you think Sunak & his buddies have shares in weapons manufacturers!
