Oh dear. It seems that when you dig into the Defence Investment Plan that all the big spending commitments are in the period beyond 2030 … and NONE of them have been guaranteed by the incoming Burnham administration.

The DIP is basically a worthless piece of paper unless Andy Burnham guarantees that all of it ESPECIALLY the majority of the spend covered by the 2030-5 period will be in the next spending review. So @andyburnham … do you guarantee the entire DIP this binding your next Chancellor into it in the next spending review?

Not only that … buried in the document are £10bn of efficiency saving that need to be made before 2030. So to get a £15bn uplift you need to find £10bn yourself….

See here 👇

It’s unravelling fast as the current defence team try to tie the hands of the incoming administration. Mad stuff. Labour civil war in plain sight.

It’s maddeningly vague. And we also don’t know how projects are to be profiled beyond 2030.

Since when does a sitting government have to check with its successor before implementing policies?

14 years of defence destruction, yet you feel qualified to comment. Pitiful.

they really are not serious about defence of the realm - we can all see their priorities

Oh dear Tories being hypocrites and liars again

it will all falloever when we have to go to the IMF becoz Laour has bankrupted us

Diversity is our strength, not our armed forces. Stop war mongering and get behind the new arrivals right to housing, UC and PIP and all the other goodies they deserve.

What a note for Starmer to go out on. But very fitting. Another misjudgement.

And remember we now know how government that each illegal migrant who comes here will be a net negative cost to the state - even assuming they work. As we can't remove them due to the ECHR, how do you propose we pay for their upkeep mike? Best we made peace with Russia?

We can't have our welfare, open border, state and a military. Now that more people claim more in benefits that they contribute, we will have to spend less on protecting ourself.

!["I have no doubt we will hit that ambition of 3% [defence spending]" Defence Secretary John Healey says the government can "make defence the engine for growth" in the UK but can't confirm if the 3% target has been guaranteed by the Treasury #BBCLauraK](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1929107338289356867/media/GsWQ5goWsAAGbVg.jpg)
