Hi Paul - it’s interest on frozen Russian state assets being used to support Ukrainian defence and make Putin pay for his relentless war of aggression.
Hi Anand - there are changes afoot & that’s a separate point. Defence was announced as a key sector in the government’s industrial strategy back in November. The fund has an objective of securing £3 of private investment for every £1 of public money to grow the economy, support sovereign industries.
Yes and they have taken the opportunity on every occasion to blast the Tories for the blackhole. So was it a myth as no one has shown the detail. This is no a Gov for its own citizens.
Strikes me, not for the first time, that the loudest critics have the fewest practical answers. I guess the politicians are supposed to have all the miracles. Explains why they are so unpopular.
Did....did you miss all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about increases in Farmers inheritance tax, capital gains tax etc? Where do you think the extra money raised from those went?
Would be interesting to hear Tony Blair’s take on the disrespectful Trump. Given Britain's strong backing of George W. Bush’s foreign policy, from sending British forces to Afghanistan to oust the Taliban and hunt al-Qaeda, to supporting the 2003 Iraq invasion. The UK played a key role.
