1/ The time for excuses is over. Next week, Conservatives will force a vote to compel the government to release the Defence Investment Plan- nine months overdue and still nowhere to be seen. This is the blueprint for how we spend taxpayers’ money on defence.

“That means that, in this Parliament, we will spend £270 billion more on defence than we would otherwise have done.” This is a lie from Keir Starmer. And it’s a lie that has been repeated by Cabinet ministers repeatedly trying to gaslight the public since. £270 billion is the cumulative total of defence spending over this parliament, not extra spending in addition to the budget. We’ve seen the Government is actually only prepared to spend an additional £15 billion this year to fund its Defence investment Plan and this week will announce huge cuts as a result. This insufficient commitment to defence spending saw both John Healey and Al Carns resign. Keir Starmer isn’t going to come to the House and correct the record, he’s already ‘quiet quit’, but the next time a minister uses this lie they should be dragged over the coals.

“The Defence Investment Plan is coming. It will be published when it is ready, when it is robust and it is a plan that can be delivered”. The implication therefore is that the reason why the Defence Investment Plan will be nine months late if it’s delivered in May after the local elections, is because the reports of a £20bn+ funding gap are true, and as things stand the Defence Investment Plan isn’t ready, isn’t robust and can’t be delivered. Wes Streeting talks about raising defence spending to record levels, but those are currently just words. That increase isn’t scheduled to happen for another year, meanwhile Labour’s rhetoric doesn’t match their actions. They talk about good game but we can increasingly see this Government isn’t serious about defence, and isn’t prepared to do what it takes.

The Conservatives will increase defence spending. Our allies, and our enemies, are rearming more quickly and more effectively than we are. We cannot afford to be left behind under this Labour Government. We are the only party with a clear plan and a clear path to raising defence spending to 3.0% of GDP. You can be a warfare economy or a welfare economy, but you can’t be both, as Labour are finding out. Restoring the two-child benefit cap would save £3.2 billion, with half being spent on reducing the deficit, and £1.6 billion on increasing the defence budget. Coupled with our policy to repurpose the national wealth fund to bolster defence with £11 billion from net zero energy projects and £6 billion from cutting central research and development grants, we would establish a new national defence and resilience bank. Labour won’t commit to reaching 3.0% this Parliament. By the time the Defence Investment Plan is published it will be getting on for a year late. We’ve not seen the Defence Finance and Investment Strategy that’s due, nor the Defence Industrial Recapitalisation Plan. Kemi Badenoch will deliver on defence. Deterrence is cheaper than war, but weakness is the most expensive policy of all.

We are now spending five times more on welfare than on defence. This must change! The Conservatives will bring back the two-child benefit cap and use the money for defence. The security of the United Kingdom is our priority, and we have a plan for a stronger country.

#Defence Investment Plan has outlined billions of pounds extra to keep our nation secure, but is it enough to meet the moment and where exactly will a future Chancellor find the #funds from? Rest assured, the Defence Committee will hold government to account on defence spending.

💬 "Next year, we will spend over £50 billion on defence for the first time in our history. That is nearly £12 billion of cash investment a year higher than 2019 - when I started." @BWallaceMP launched the Defence Command Paper 2023 today on the future of the UK Armed Forces.

The failure to make the right choices on the Defence Investment Plan is just a symptom of the indecision at the heart of this Government, as I told The News Agents last week.

"The plan is there. John Healey has worked on it. He's a great Defence Secretary. The question is, how do you pay for it?" Wes Streeting told Lewis Goodall last week that there was "indecision" at the top over the defence investment plan. Today, Healey resigned.

From the Scamgress era to the Modi era, this is how India's defence capabilities have transformed. 🇮🇳 This one reason alone is enough for me to support and vote for the Modi government.

'John has effectively said I will not preside over the death of the Royal Navy' Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, a former Security Minister, spoke to #BBCBreakfast after John Healey resigned as Defence Secretary and told Keir Starmer the upcoming defence investment plan "falls well short of what is required for defence and the country at this dangerous time"

Records speak for themselves. The Conservatives cut Canada's defence spending to less than 1% of GDP—the lowest in decades. Our government has more than doubled defence spending and we've committed to spend 2% of our GDP on defence by 2032, and are on track to do so.

It’s too late for the Defence Investment Plan. The PM’s plans and promises won’t last beyond his term and his term is almost over. This defence document isn’t a plan, it’s pointless.

Very disappointed that the CX will not give a date when the Defence Investment Plan will be published despite the government first promising it in June last year … it will lead many to have grave concerns about the commitment to investment in defence spending at a time of crisis.

Yesterday, the government announced spending cuts to vital public services as part of the Defence Investment Plan. This is costly and wasteful: every extra pound spent on defence is money taken away from schools and hospitals. Let’s invest in people, not more war abroad.
