He said he was out campaigning as the vote was pointless whereas a landslide in the May elections will be decisive. I agree with that but I also think politics is about optics as much as logic. The optics of not turning up to that (pointless) vote is bad, and that has a very real effect at the ballot. As much as I’m a fan of Lowe his attacks on farage over this are a bit pathetic imo. But whatever… politics doesn’t encourage much honour these days. It’s a race to the bottom and ‘we’ encourage it.

Tbf the top ISIS goat f****r from Syria was at the Whitehouse the other month shaking hands with POTUS so there’s every chance of either outcome!

Well his tariff stick has been took off him so he has to find new means of punishing those that won’t bend the knee. The Iran war has f****d him. I genuinely fear it is to the US what suez was to Great Britain. And while I’m here I see he’s got initial funding for his big beautiful Trump class battleships, that aren’t battleships, or in anyway a sane use of tax $$$. Another chapter in this great pantomime.

Mandelsons links to Epstein probably made him the perfect guy for the job! Controversial take maybe but if he was able to leverage that relationship to the benefit of our country then I can see why he was appointed. And if it forces an early election then even better!

Apparently it’s shut again this might take a little while just to get the terms and conditions agreed

I understand. It’s such a tragedy. It’s criminal negligence of national security and a great British institution.

I think the ability to deploy a battlegroup is way more fundamental than deploying a carrier strike group tbh. Carrier strike is premier league stuff and there is a ramp up period where all the parts are coming together.

I pay more attention to the RAF and RN tbh but I assumed we had the capability to deploy at least a single battlegroup! I knew the army is particularly f****d but we might as well completely close shop if we can’t deploy a battlegroup.

The smartest move they’ve made so far.

It doesn’t have the capacity to take the volume of crude that was leaving the gulf prior to the war. Maybe enough to stabilise the European markets though.

HMS Dragon was earmarked to become the flagship of Standing NATO Maritime Group One, but her maintenance period has been expedited and she is being taken out of dry dock and will begin loading munitions today. Dragon is expected to sail early next week. She completed FOST in December but has not been to sea since and will need to conduct a brief workup while in transit. HMS Duncan is available but is earmarked to join HMS Prince of Wales and the carrier strike group on Operation FIRECREST. However, she has some defects that need addressing and is due for a short maintenance period.

Not sure about that one. It’s fairly well documented what the status and availability of our fleet is. This job requires one of the T-45s really and at the time there was only two really available, the other one needing to go into maintenance before deploying later this year. I’d argue that an Army sky Sabre system could’ve been deployed much more quickly and provide similar protection though. No idea why that wasn’t done.

Starmer is an absolute disaster. I’m not challenging that. I just think it’s easy for farage to throw stones like our military isn’t a f***ing skeleton of what it used to be back when we might’ve had the balls for this stuff.

Fair, in that case I agree but given the most recent one that passed through he might’ve clarified!
