Any Labour Govt would look to protect jobs in the manufacturing sector - so they'd be happy to spend (some) money on new ships (T26, River class for example), and maybe replace the Successor SSBN's with more Astutes. I'd suspect fewer F-35's or at least a minimum spend but maybe more helicopter's. More cash for tanks and armoured vehicles and less on drones. Probably a small pay raise for the troops as well
