....either way, decisions on defence spending will be non-existent at parliamentary level for the next two years plus, so just existing budget management by the MOD for the foreseeable future. It will be interesting to see how the MOD managers spin out a budget that is probably insufficient to meet their forthcoming needs...
Typed that four months ago on the last "defence-cuts-morphed-into-political-bun-fight" thread. Absolutely zilch has changed, so why waste keyboard life, when cut-n-paste says it all.

Another potentially game changing "constitutional process" vote coming up this week. Maybe a few tory mps find their cojones and remember they are elected to represent the views of their constituents and we can toss the whole thing - defence spending included - to Corbyn for a couple of years to sort out
