You might not like Torpy but he knows a hell of a lot better than you what he is doing.

That's the funniest line I've heard all week.

Agreed - if we intend to withdraw from F-35 then we're bu**ered. But then so is the CVF programme

Agreed too! When you reach a stage when both Dianne Abbot and Michael Portillo both say that the carriers are unnecessary and unaffordable, it seems safe to assume they they'll get dumped. I'm starting to think that the political spin seems to be that by identifying the carriers as being an obvious choice for savings, the F-35 can be disposed-of by proxy, claiming that it is redundant without any carrier to operate from. Cynical I know but we're talking about British politics here.
