YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Reflecting on MPs warning that there is 'no credible' plan to fund the armed forces, Lewis Goodall says the Spring Budget illustrates a Conservative party that is 'intellectually exhausted' and 'haunted by fantasy'.

Goodall says: ‘It is hard not to look at our multi-polar world and see, with a power constantly trying to use aggression with our neighbour, that we are making exactly the same mistake as we did in the 1930’s.'

This comes as the gap between the Ministry of Defence's budget and the cost of the UK's desired military capabilities has increased to £16.9 billion. It is the largest deficit on record, despite an expected injection of £46.3 billion over the next 10 years.
