Well apparently, HMS Dragon still hasn’t arrived! It stopped in Gibraltar to swap out some crew and upload stores. Now, it has stopped again at Crete…

I just listened to a car crash interview on LBC with the Defence Secretary who didn’t seem to know how many RN vessels we have! Unfortunately, we are having to borrow a German warship for a NATO mission in the Baltic next month commanded by an RN officer. We have no other ships available to deploy at all! How embarrassing. I knew things were bad but hell!
