YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Whatever one thinks about Trump’s intervention in Iran, the fact is it has cruelly exposed the vulnerability of our national defences.

But that warning is a blessing that we must be grateful for.

We MUST act now to rebuild our armed forces and defence infrastructure. The next lesson we receive could well be much harsher.

History is full of examples of nations who didn’t heed the warnings of looming danger.

I hope that Reform’s decision to commit to the triple lock doesn’t signal a further dive into the consumer politics that has consistently treated national defence as a secondary priority.
