Ukraine has become a new, major market for British arms exports.
In the 10 years up to Russia’s invasion in 2022, UK firms sold only around £35m of military equipment. In the three years since the invasion, 2022-24, arms exports skyrocketed to £1.1bn.

Just ask the USA and then ask the UK - look at their budgets, look at the military industry lobby, look at the shipping companies, look at any corporation, government or person who profits from WAR.
Look at who benefits when the spotlight shifts away from them.
In the lead up to the election I said he would go to war. It was clear he would win the election. It was clear he would be appalling in office. It was clear he would use war to improve his approval ratings and to enrich the wealthy.
Wouldn't be surprised to see much the same story there.
