I'm not entirely impressed by this conversion to maintaining a military posture by Labour. At the same time it is beyond doubt that the Tories have abandoned defence as a serious matter for concern, a few weeks ago, a young tory MP was on Question Time advancing the argument that we have a nuclear deterrent so.... This was his response to the accusation that defence spendng needed increasing. However, the Labour party are still the Labour party, they still have Angie Rayner as the deputy leader. If you look at the background of many current labour MPs, they all opposed the nuclear deterrent, supported a policy to never send UK forces on operations overseas (an interesting one) and to oppose all military operations against ISIS. The latter two points are supported by Sir Kier Starmer, or were?
