Barmy Starmy says:

In my Plan for Change, I pledged to improve the lives of people in every corner of the UK, by growing the economy. By spending more on defence, we will deliver the stability that underpins economic growth, and will unlock prosperity through new jobs, skills and opportunity across the country.

Meanwhile, according to the FT:

Stephen Phipson, the chief executive of Make UK, said the prime minister’s pledge to increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP was an opportunity to cement the UK’s position as a global leader in arms manufacturing.

Jolly good show!

This latest wheeze from a clueless government includes:

• New jobs making landmines to blow the limbs off unknown people in far-off countries
• new skills in learning how to use drones to assassinate unsuspecting victims at weddings and funerals
• new opportunities to do more than just make coffee or deliver Amazon parcels but develop cutting edge weaponry to kill people and reduce the world population in line with WEF guidelines

Yes, a new golden age is dawning in the UK of which we can all be really proud!
