“The UK is preparing an aircraft carrier for possible deployment to the Middle East” This is pure posturing by Keir Starmer. Other than saving political face what is the benefit of deploying the HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group? And where would we deploy it to? I’ve repeatedly warned of the overstretch our armed forces face as this Government overcommits them, just as the previous Labour Government did. HMS Prince of Wales is supposed to be deploying to the High North on Operation Firecrest later this year, and was cited as the reason HMS Duncan couldn’t be the T45 deployed to Cyprus. Reducing its notice-to-move from 10 days to 5 sounds good but why would we deploy it, given the resources required to move it to the Arabian Gulf - a near whole force effort for the RAF and Royal Navy? Not to mention the risk of losing it. Last week we weren’t even prepared to strike Hezbollah. We could just move two squadrons of F-35B to RAF Akrotiri. That’s why it’s there. But that doesn’t have the same “strong leader” optics. We have just enough escort ships but no Astute class submarine; HMS Anson is undergoing AUKUS maintenance in Australia. HMS Dragon is still in Portsmouth, preparing to head to the Eastern Mediterranean and HMS Dauntless is in FTSP. If we were to deploy, how would we cover Operation Firecrest and how would we fulfil our NATO Standing Maritime Group One flagship commitment? Additionally, what effect will this have on the ship’s company(s) who only returned from an 8-month deployment late last year. Meanwhile the USS George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group yesterday completed COMPTUEX and is about to be tasked to the Eastern Mediterranean as the US’s third CSG in the region, replacing the USS Gerald Ford which is now in the Red Sea. The Defence Secretary will need to explain what the intention is here, and what deconfliction has taken place with our allies already in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Steve Reed is lying his way through another media round. “We have systems and defences in place that keep the United Kingdom safe” HMS Duncan is the only asset we currently have capable of intercepting a ballistic missile. It’s already committed to deploying with the HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group on Operation Firecrest. We currently don’t have enough seaworthy Type 45s to fulfil our existing commitments, which includes the flagship role for the Standing NATO Maritime Group One, let alone defence of the UK mainland against hypothetical ballistic missile attack. “We will take necessary defensive action to protect British interests, British people or our allies across the region” No, we haven’t. We deployed HMS Dragon which has only just arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean. We haven’t intercepted a single missile and have intercepted a handful of the thousands of drone fired. Bahrain is one of our closest allies in the region. It has been repeatedly struck by missiles and drones for three weeks. There is no account of us having played any role in intercepting any of them, despite the C-SIPA agreement between us and the presence of the UK Naval Support Facility. “The UK has been taking down drones and missiles that have been fired around” We haven’t intercepted any missiles. The only capability that could is HMS Dragon, and that has been in transit. “Our assessment is that there was a missile launched at Diego Garcia, two I think….one failed and the other was intercepted, so that shows that our defensive capabilities are correct” An Iranian IRBM failing doesn’t show our defensive capabilities are correct; we got lucky. The other was intercepted, by a US-Navy SM-3 ballistic missile interceptor. Reed implies that this was by UK forces. Once again we were reliant upon the US. We appear entirely unwilling to hold Iran to account for attacking us. The Government is fudging its way through this conflict one indecisive step at a time, but gaslighting us into believing they’re in control of the situation is laughable.
