Still wouldn’t want people in the army who hadn’t been vetted and processed…

Could you link?

Yeah, brilliant idea, take illegal immigrants with absolutely no skills or training and limited vetting, possibly not fluent in the language, and give them access to a f***ing nuclear submarine. Absolutely genius idea

Just setting off for The Alamo now, what time is kick off?

Without defence spending there may not be vulnerable people left in society to defend. Some of us have seen this coming for years - the Tories completely dropped the ball.

I hope you both enjoyed your Hemp craft IPA and crisps made out of, I dunno, basil…

And his target is a realistic one, indeed one the government agree on - Davey is just saying it’s a bit more urgent than the PM’s choices suggest, and I agree with that. Reform have no costings or actionable plans.

Much as we all dread to think about the possibility of war on our shores, a big day today with Starmer’s pledges. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz63y1yldq2t It feels appropriate to have a dedicated thread to discussing UK defence, which is an issue quite apart from party politics in my...

It’s always time for the Annual Patron Bumming Festival! :)

Good points, but Mitoma is one of the few players on the pitch who can do something out of nothing. You mention Hinsh at Spurs, but it was Mitoma that changed the game in my opinion. I won’t begrudge him a big move away for CL football - he’s a good lad and he’ll go correctly if he does indeed...

I really don’t want to lose him, but as far as this hypothetical deal goes, I quite like it.
