Sir Keir Starmer has been keen in office to run down our navy. He has decommissioned our 2 assault ships, our last minesweeper and three frigates.He humiliated our country with so many vessels undergoing long winded maintenance at the same time so we did not have a single ship ready to protect Cyprus when the Iran war started.
Now we read he might cancel the plans to order some new frigates and destroyers. He might order some drones and smaller automated boats instead. He needs to do that as well.
Has he no understanding of our dependence on seaborne trade? No knowledge of our history where we have needed to repel sea crossing invasions from France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Norway,Italy etc? No memory of threats from foreign navies?
The Royal Navy helped free Europe from French and German tyranny, led the abolition of the slave trade, defended the low countries and England from Spanish conquest, helped liberate Asia from Japanese domination.its reward is the demolition of its surface fleet by a vandal government that wants to run down our defences.

Sir Keir Starmer has been keen in office to run down our navy.
Not just the Navy but the whole of the U.K.
He wouldn’t be more happy than to hand the running of GB by the EU along with rest of the European loving Liebour/Tories/ Libdums Westminster politicians , well that’s not going to happen

Just another step towards integrating with the EU. Foreign navies to supply carrier protection while we provide nuclear protection. No doubt to be commanded by Brussels.
This party is a danger to the very fabric of Britain and a successive government should invoke the treason act retrospectively.
As a former nuclear submariner I’m disgusted at the behavior of these bastards.

Exactly, but defence procurement has also been run appallingly inefficiently and been hugely misdirected too,
even when they had some money to spend it was spent on the wrong things in the wrong way. The same as the rest of activity by recent governments.
Starmer has an even more duff compass than Heath, Wilson, Callaghan, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Boris and Sunak – quite some achievement. 180 degrees out on every single issue it seems, how many more years of essentially deluded, big state, tax borrow and waste socialism do we have to suffer?

Straight from the WEF playbook “Destroy the Nation State”? He’s succeeding is he not?
