Starmer's vision quest

[Pblakeney]

One really does have to wonder where Starmer is getting his political prompts from, because I'm pretty sure its not from normal people., or on the doorstep. In fact, I'm not aware of any channels where defence is anywhere on the list of 'concerns'. It's almost as if he doesn't want to talk about immigration or the EU, because he knows he's out of step with likely/lost Labour supporters.

Just as a nitpicking exercise, is it Starmer focussing on defence or the author?
I suspect that this spending is just approving spending already announced.

Nit-picking doesn't seem like terribly useful exercise, at least as far as the cardiovascular system is concerned. I prefer a brisk walk or bike ride myself. Or weights. And I don't think that lifting nits counts as 'weights'.

That's about as much as I can be bothered with today after an "extremely enjoyable" day yesterday.
A perfect day for watching a cycling stage race. 😉
