@futonclutch5040 Really? Britain now spends around £100 Billion a year on defence £61 Billion on defence, £15.8 billion on what Boris called the uplift, and a pledged £20 billion on new munitions, and equipment, these figures are for the life of the present Government. Labour would of course scrap the uplift, and the new equipment!!

@VanderlyndenJengold The labouur party invest in the forces? Well really? Just pray tell who was it that Cancelled CV1? Who cancelled the supersonic version of the Harrier, and most telling to your lies just who was it that first wanted to scrap the QE class? Oh and who was it that closed all the far eastern bases? Most certainly not the greens, Liberals, or Tories. That is just a few of the labour cuts I can mention without having to look up anything on the internet. In fact one Labour defence minister Dennis Healey should have been taken to court for treason, because of the smiling way in which he laft parts of the old empire out to dry, and smiled as he basically cut the defence of Britian to the quick. Labour invest in the military, do give me a break here, that has to be the best joke a Labour person has ever come up with!!

@tams805 Well considering they were NOT for Britian in the first place then I doubt that the Labour party had much option really. Their allies in Europe would have told them to put up, and shut up. Who cancelled CV1? These were carriers the size of the QE class, and would have been of great help in the Falklands for example? The Tories didn't close all the bases east of Suez as the Traitor Dennis Healey used to smilingly say that was his one objective as the Labour defence minister, who cancelled the supersonic Harrier? These most certainly weren't the Tories. Just stating that recently Lbour have woken up to the reality that you need some form of defence, is not the posotion of the Labour party. Even whilst struggling to control the IRA the one thing you could guarantee every year under a Labour party was cut, after cut, after cut! The Labour party and defence history is something you should allbe ashamed of.

@TheBenj30 Erm NO one scrapped the carriers leading up to the Falklands war Hermes was due to be sold to India, this happend as planned after 1982, cost was the reason running three Invinsible carriers was cheaper than the Hermes. Black buck was the longest bombing distance at the time. The Tories had taken over from a Labour government who cut, cut, cut. I can in fact tell you that Labour cut the Audacious aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal from service years before it was due to be replaced by the invincible class carriers, and they had stated that the Royal navy would need no more carriers because thanks to their philosophy the Vulcan could be used to bomb anywhere in the world from Britiain. So once again The Labour party cause the Falklands war by removing the only surface ship that would have stopped the war before it started, they even refused to refit HMS Eagle the other larger Audacious carrier which was kept in a berth in Plymouth Harbour while I was in the Royal Navy. your claims are both fallatious and do not tie in with recorded history.
