Guys, we really need to save on welfare costs. That’s why we made a controversial cut of £5b to disability support.
Meanwhile, we think the army needs more money. £3b last year, and £8.4b here. It’s really worth it, I promise.

I really hate the whole “it’s gone over budget” thing. If the budget doesn’t mean anything then why even have it?
At least this is money primarily going to UK workers.
Trident pisses me off because it buys missile we’re perfectly capable of designing and making ourselves. Relying on another nation for last resort national defence is bonkers if you have the choice.
In a long term scheme such as this, inflation and interest rates can wildly inflate the budget in unpredictable ways.
