Is 'The West' at war with Russia? Ask two questions: Has The West firmly stated that it is politically opposed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and wishes to see it fail? Is it in the interest of future West European security to see Russia be defeated in Ukraine? 1/11
A bit ‘Accidentally Wes Anderson’ but with Asian characteristics. Or perhaps what Hopper might see today…
Totally buy this - see my recent on viewing the military as we should a ‘Supermarket’. I.e. not a ‘shop’ but a sophisticated, technically savvy manager of sustainable international supply chains to keep developing products/forces that confer advantage.@CalumDouglas1
Key strategic lessons from history, which apparently, remain almost as un-heeded as they were in the 1930`s and 1940`s among several of the less fortunate protagonists, @RoyalAirForce @almurray @QinetiQ @AeroSociety 1) If you do not control the metallic and petrochemical…
We should view the military as we would a supermarket - not a shop display window. The window display shows a few smart things you have now. But a supermarket is an agile business that can rapidly manipulate international supply chains to achieve a sustainable advantage over…
⚙️The MOD should focus less on the vehicle and where it comes from, and more on the factory producing the vehicle and where that is. Making the factory is 100x harder than making the thing the factory makes. If we focus on what we can fully fabricate in the UK, good-enough…
The timing of new Ajax problems couldn’t be much worse …
Britain's top military chiefs held a "very difficult" meeting this week over how to fund plans to rebuild the armed forces amid fears of further cuts, defence sources have said. news.sky.com/story/military…
All true, but focusing on Witkoff misses the big picture in these so-called peace plan revelations. It’s what many of us have said since January: The Trump family & team are allied with Russia against Ukraine and Europe for profit, and there are no US national interests involved.
Reaction of Western journalists to the published transcript of Witkoff's conversation with Russians. 💬 Oliver Carroll, The Economist. "Even in the Trump era, this is stunning. Here is Steve Witkoff, an American official, giving instructions to a Kremlin adviser on how Putin…
Juries have been the last line of defence against the authoritarian cancel mob. When our members have found themselves charged with criminal offences for speaking out, juries have reliably said no dice to overzealous prosecutors. This has infuriated the CPS and the activists…
Cannot believe they want to end trial by jury. One of our most fundamental rights. Literally Magna Carta stuff.
This point was also made yesterday by @siralexyounger on @BBCr4today
"..When Urals crude crossed below $50 in April 2025, the Kremlin didn’t just lose money. Rather it lost the mathematical possibility of sustaining its war." This morning, Black Sea Urals crude was $36/barrel. The thing speaks for itself. brianiselin.com/silencing-russ…
Britain needs nuclear power. Our nuclear projects are the most expensive in the world and among the slowest. Regulators and industry are paralysed by risk aversion. This can change. For Britain to prosper, it must. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister appointed me to lead a…
The trouble with being 60 is that you have seen at least two generations of ‘very clever young people’ who have discovered tax and spend. “But this time it will be different!”
Total drivel. If you don’t want to be disciplined by the bond markets don’t borrow from them. But stop complaining if you do.
What is the G8? telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
I add this from nearly two years ago… Trump is right. Defenceless Europe can no longer freeload off America telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/2…
The assumption that "America will always be there with and for us" has done immeasurable harm to Europe and Ukraine. Contingency planning should have started before the last U.S. election: politico.com/news/2025/11/2…
Go figure…
Populist leader who advocates not being in hock to the bond markets wants to borrow more. From the bond markets. What could possibly go wrong?

Treasury Minister during worst era of austerity thinks we've got it wrong. Can't get better endorsement. Join.greenparty.org.uk
I can’t believe he still has only 2.4k followers. My advice is follow @kpd_musing for interesting and novel thought on defence and AI. x.com/kpd_musing?s=11
It's very arguable that China's economic model under Xi Jinping most closely resembles the mixed economies of the West's Allied Powers, during the decades just following their victory in the Second World War. Many are under the misimpression that the Neoliberalism of Reagan and…
Many cannot even comprehend that the postwar economy in Britain - and in other European countries as well - was effectively planned. It was more similar to the Chinese economy of today than to the British economy of today. Since the planning stopped it has gone to the wall. 🇬🇧
This really shouldn’t need saying…
If you don’t like the bond market then run a budget surplus. Problem solved. If you want to borrow money, don’t whine about the fact that the people lending it to you will do it on their terms, not yours.
We all know that F-35B procurement began as a 1-to-1 GR9 and SHAR replacement programme (hence 138), that it survived is due to decades of fudge involving hammering its square peg into the round hole of FOAS. Thank God GCAP is coming to do that job, leaving F-35B to its job.
