Comments by "That Car Guy" (@ThatCarGuy) on "Is there a cabinet civil war over defence spending? | Sitrep podcast" video.
There needs to be more spending. As talked about in a previous video here and as the US recently stated the UK has dropped to a tier 2 army(source below). With more spending it would get more carriers(conventional or possible nuclear in the future), more nuclear submarines, more destroyers and frigates, more aircraft for all branches, more tanks, money for lasers development and other future projects and so on. It would also allow more troops since pretty much everything is getting cut. We need NATO to be strong and well fortified. It reminds me of when Trump complained to Germany about their defense spending(they have been terrible with it), and look what's going on now with Russia. NATO can't get lax with spending on their armed forces. "A senior U.S. general has recently warned U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace that the British Army is no longer considered to be among the world’s top-tier fighting forces, according to a Sunday report. The source told Wallace that decades of cuts to Britain’s military defense has eroded the country’s fighting capabilities, Sky News reports."

@MrTibbs12 Power projection, moving airpower incase of an actual war, etc. They already cut enough from the military.
