Joe2812,

“Labour just did all those cuts yet claim to be pro-Defence budget?”

Labour increased the defence budget for the third successive year, you won’t find a post Cold War Tory Gov’t ever having done that.

The Tory party will chop an additional £2.7Bn from defence support costs to fund silly things like restoring historic infantry regiments in Scotland that have not been able to maintain recruiting numbers for over 20 years and further privatise and out source key defence activities.
