From The PM

"today I can announce that the second carrier – HMS Prince of Wales – will also be brought into service. This will ensure that will always have one carrier available, 100% of the time"

On the face of it good news, then you realise that we are already commited to pay for it!
UK PLC will not start spending more money untill it's built and in use . Effectively he has given us an 8 year post dated cheque and probably a differant goverment an opportunity to change its mind when this summit has been completely forgotten about.

DC - Taking spin to a differant level.
