"How much did the other 2 parties pay on defence?" About the same apart from some budget shuffling of small change. Unless he plans to sell off the NHS and/or stop paying anything for social care then his only other option is to print money or sell Nigel Bonds. | |||

"How much did the other 2 parties pay on defence?" I think there has been a general realisation we need to spend more on defence. The trouble is, brexit has impoverished the country so its difficult to do much without leaving other areas short. | |||

"How much did the other 2 parties pay on defence? I think there has been a general realisation we need to spend more on defence. The trouble is, brexit has impoverished the country so its difficult to do much without leaving other areas short.. Nothing to do with Brexit" According to Google Brexit has lowered the UK GDP. Recent economic research consistently shows that Brexit has lowered the UK's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with estimates suggesting a reduction of 6% to 8% by 2025. That has a big impact on our ability to raise defence spending. | |||

"Well that makes him no worse than the T**T that's in right now,and if he stops the boats, that will make him a lot better, and as for the NHS, people are dying in corridors alone and frightened, it's imploding, casualty departments full of lonely people who are there for company or attention and to gain evidence to support there latest DWP claim,Something HAS to change AND QUICK." He won't fix any of that. He has no actual plans. | |||

"I know Farage is popular at the moment, but as for all he is promising, he’s now saying he’s going to spend untold billions on defence if he gets in, on top of all he’s already promised, it’s easy to make promises when your not in power, but where is all this money coming from, and what cuts in other areas will he have to make to pay for it" He's a known grifter and snake oil salesman. What's truly bewildering is how otherwise intelligent people fall for him. It's a cult of personality, nothing more. | |||

"If he ditches net zero, foreign aid and such there will be a fair bit to spend on defence." Net zero = pointless when China is building a new coal power station a month. Foreign aid = fuck them, let them sort their own problems out, not our issue and we will see no return. | |||

Starmer has a shed full of problems to solve here in the UK... but spends most of his time cruising round the world pretending to be a world leader and poking his nose into things that don't concern us! He really is cringe inducing!  | |||

". Net zero = pointless when China is building a new coal power station a month. " Building loads but with twenty five years life span and will not need them within next ten as it's greens energy comes on line. Already produces more green energy as a percentage of total then we do and is rapidly advancing this. " Foreign aid = fuck them, let them sort their own problems out, not our issue and we will see no return." Most of our foreign aid is tied to sweetener deals for our foreign exports primarily arms industry. It's what has kept heavy industry export manufacturing in this country afloat. And as a tiny element of govt spending it's not where we should be looking. Twenty times that goes in profits to govt consultancy from big six to Serco to G4 to Microsoft and AWS. If you want to save money, stop giving it away to foreign corporates! | |||

"People spouting the country's struggles have nothing to do with Brexit....This level of denial simply compounds the dire economic and social situation we wallow in. Absolute troll posting ends of a bell." Hear hear, couldn’t agree more. Leaving the Single Market and Customs Union has been catastrophic for our economy. Raising trade barriers against our largest and closest trading partners has been insanity. | |||

Some have been ditched, some are denied, some watered down and others broken. Rhetoric doesn’t always make it to the manifesto at election time and those that do can be changed when elected because “Things are far worse than we believed” | |||

Farage will not stop the boats and he knows that. Leaving the EU helped bring the boats over and Farage knew that,but could not admit to it.He said leaving the Dublin Agreement would not make the slightest difference to immigration,but it has. We left the Dublin agreement when we left the EU.Under the Dublin agreement we could send everyone back too France and that infamous Calais Camp. Now we cannot because the smugglers,migrants and everyman and his dog knows we cannot.If we had stayed in the single market and customs union we would still be okay too send the boats back. But we left that too. Farage wanted a hard brexit. He got one. | |||

"Reform will be good for one term so they can change rules and make Britain a no go area for gimmigrants (gimmigrants is a word to describe wasters who cant make it in their own country so come here to ponce off the tax payers) . One term is enough to sort the mess out, get a good Brexit and let gimmigrants know they arent wanted here and if they try we will turn them around in the channel and get a good system in place where we only take those who can support themselves, have a profession and will fit in here." There’s no such thing as a good Brexit; every single thing which was predicted (so called “project fear”) has happened and it has turned out to be a catastrophic act of national self harm. All of it’s proponents should be tried for treason; saboteurs all. | |||

"Reform would definitely be a vote because the current government haven't done what they are told regarding stopping immigrants coming and deporting the ones that are here. If this is sorted then Reform will be finished. It would be a last resort vote, the government seem to forget that they are paid to do what the public tells them. Regarding my vote for mayor of London it will be for whoever is the most likely to get rid of the vermin that calls itself mayor now. (Ive forgot its name)" We need to hold them accountable then. The one in one out policy costs plenty. Give them time to prove their claims. If it fails kick the liars out of power. Same with the house building targets they set. If they fail we should judge them by this failure. The same should be true for any party in power. | |||
