I imagine he'll be spot on, but by what right he'll point the finger I don't know. I appreciate John Healey is little known about, I don't imagine he's at all extreme, however, the difference between Labour and Tory cuts, is one imposes cuts for no other justification than to increase spending elsewhere, the other does so because we're in a financial hole or the shift in the international climate (options for change) means maintaining the military posture of the day can't be justified. The other point, if I may be a tad subjective, one of the two parties has always had a venomously anti-military left-wing, usually that crowd don't get too close to senior cabinet posts or No. 10, save unrelated cabinet posts here and there, but they've come close before, Foot, Corbyn?
