Why the benefits of building British go beyond sovereign capability.

The UK defence sector goes beyond keeping citizens safe and protecting our borders. It is an intrinsic cog in the economic prosperity, growth of ideas and development of people in the UK.
With that in mind, it falls on government’s shoulders to ensure the sector receives due investment, recognition and priority; and on the shoulders of opposition to apply scrutiny when they fail to do so.
As newly appointed Shadow Minister for Defence Procurement, that is exactly what I intend to do.
With over 135,000 people directly employed by the UK defence industry, an annual turnover of £22 billion and a tradition of producing cutting-edge innovation, we need to be asking the question – is government doing enough to support UK defence?

And more false ship building news....

People have been sharing an article titled ‘French firm wins Royal Navy Type 31 frigates contract’ without actually reading it.

The article from Plymouth Live, while having a bit of a ‘clickbaity’ headline, does go on to explain that the news relates to some components of the ship.

"So, the frigates, bring almost 20 years work, are not being built on the Clyde as promised, but being opened up to other UK ports."

So, the frigates, bring almost 20 years work, are not being built on the Clyde as promised, but being opened up to other UK ports.
Have the Tories ever stuck to one promise or principle
