As someone said above, personal kit has never been better.

Boots that fit, UBACs, body armour that does the job...even a natty little mug which was redsigned when it was suggested that the handle stopped it from fitting in a pocket! The SA80 A2 and click on bits and pieces is excellent. 5.56 rather than 7.62 but that is a different debate.

The large capital items probably need a little more thinking about. AT...umm....SH....umm.....Brown is treading a fine line here and I perceive that the very evident 'stitching up of the next Government' that was going on a few months back may have ceased temporarily as NuOldLabour have got a small sniff of another victory.

I hope not.

BEagle has it right about Cameron - he is a very, very impressive speaker and he may fair better in the next TV debate if not in the middle. Stick Brown in the middle and let the other two pincer him next time.
