By #underinvestment I meant the #BritishArmy (not UK defense in general; RN: 2 nice big floating ice packs) Billions of 💷 wasted on faulty hardware (Ajax for the Infantry that will never see service). We cannot deploy a full armoured division with everything that entails. In short, we can scarcely deploy at all. Hope the boots than my day. Infantry is about suffering. But getting to the suffering zone in comfort helps. #ShanksPony

We have Nero’d from the beginning. Heel clattering in the amphitheatre’s of EU. Should’ve been low risk red line: #Russian air incursions are shot down. #Putin isn’t going to push buttons for that. #AFV #incursion beyond #Donbas = immediate supply of MBTs from West. Reasonable red lines. But we, the most powerful military and politically united alliance Nero’d. We are now so much closer to losing everything. What is the point of #ervice, especially in the #Britisharmy 2/2

Demoralising report (well facilitated, good guests) on the impact of #DavidCameron’s 2010 30% slash of #BritishArmy funding as the question has been posed (not without reason) by 🇺🇸 & NATO ‘Is the BA viable as a tier 1 fighting force?’ The names of the guilty right up to that blithering idiot #DefenceSecretary #GeorgeEustace &, arguably worse, Field Marshall #BorisJohnson make for a list of shame. We need a division, as per Iraqi war 2003. This is not about raising/reappropriating taxes. #Pads🤬

Britain's Army is big enough if its only goal is to 'stay at home and tootle around', the UK's Defence Secretary has warned.

Ben Wallace made the comments during a visit to Oslo, Norway this week, adding that the country's armed forces needed to be properly funded.
