![Minister Luke Pollard just said in the House of Commons he is still a minister in MoD because John Healey asked him to stay. He said: "Its no secret I worked in lock step with the former defence secretary. He is a friend and mentor.... I am still standing here because he [Healey] asked me to stay and because we need continuity..." It's hard not to read between the lines here. Is the implication of this that he *wanted* to resign over the defence investment plan but Healey told him not to..?](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2066534947217625464/ext_tw_video_thumb/2066534912421736449/pu/img/Rm0aAqSVBguRxaEh.jpg)

The head of the armed forces Sir Richard Knighton has just revealed something shocking about the defence budget💥 He said during a House of Lords committee meeting that the armed forces would have to "dial back" its work if he doesn't get any more money. He was responding to a series of questions from Lord Robertson, who asked whether the reported £10bn spending uplift offered to John Healey - prompting his resignation - was enough.
