In terms of major surface vessels, Andrew Neil is correct. This is a legacy of the Conservatives, exacerbated by Brexit trashing the UK economy.
There is a lot of evidence that right wing politics weakens the UKโ€™s security.

Staggering and sad that IPPR, who published this pioneering work on England in the UK can run www.ippr.org/articles/rec... by Parth Patel and @npjgarland.bsky.social on 'National' renewal without acknowledging that Britain is a multi-national state not a nation AND then stick on an English flag

80p would have been a very generous tip on an ยฃ8 charge.

A 37.5% tip is never justified, even for outstanding service.

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth.

during the Scottish independence referendum campaign a large number of English people said it would be wrong to locate England's nukes in England and they should be left in Scotland "away from people"

the UK's entire nuclear capability operates from a base 30 miles from Glasgow

As we โ€celebrateโ€ 10 years since #Brexit, since 2016, the cumulative GDP/ capita growth in U.K. was just 4%.

By comparison in Romania was 55%.

The anti-right wing vote celebrates the collapsing Labour vote, because Labour are right wing.

Anyway, here we have it black and white that because U.K. has a less significant currency, it needs to pay a much higher interest ras than France and Italy.

Should we be in the โ‚ฌ-zone, we can save ยฃ30 billion per year on the interest payments on our ยฃ2.9 trillion debt.

There is another possible explanation: Tate only wanted it to look like he intended to fight.

By behaving the way he did, he knew he would be denied entry to Dubai.

Since we have been quite busy we have been neglecting 'RAF' Mildenhall which near Lakenheath.
At the moment there seems to be a large buildup of Special Operation units with 8 MC-130J aircraft.
There are also 8 KC-135R refuelling planes at the base.
This does not include Mildenhall based planes.
