TÀmÀ antaa mielestÀni sen mukaan, ettÀ hÀn on yksityiskohtainen, mutta hÀn on myös yksityiskohtainen. Ja selkeÀsti, kun hÀn on osallistunut osallistumiseen, se on parempi kritiikki, jota tÀmÀ hallitus voisi kÀsitellÀ, kuin se olisi, jos se olisi tullut jollekin, jota hallitus voisi kÀsitellÀ kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen kriittisen.
KyllÀ, ja MOT-todessa on ollut huonoja asioita, jotka kÀsittelevÀt sitÀ. Jotkut sanovat, ettÀ hallitsevat osapuolet tekevÀt usein huonoja huonoja asioita, koska he kÀsittelevÀt, ettÀ heidÀn vaikutuksensa on suurempi hallitsevien osapuolien kÀsittelemisestÀ.
TÀmÀ on yksi tangle of conversation that goes on between and within governments, departments. And I think the other thing you've got going on here is the big picture thing, which is the kind of generational challenge or the challenge of the coming years. And then the more specific thing, which is when does the government get round to publishing this defense investment plan that I mentioned that was promised not long after the
johon jÀrjestetÀÀn strateginen puolustusreviewi, jossa kÀsitellÀÀn, miten se olisi palannut. Ja kun olit tuossa keskustelussa, nÀin, ettÀ minulla oli laptopissani joitain huomioita Lukeen Pollardista, joka on puolustusryhmÀministeri.
Se tuli kameran eteenpÀin, kun Lord Robertson sanoi, ettÀ hallitus on työskennellyt, hÀn sanoi, jotta julkaisemme tÀmÀn rahoitusohjelman. Ja me pysyimme takaisin ideaan, ettÀ se ei ole seuraavaa, koska he eivÀt voi pÀÀttÀÀ, mistÀ rahoja tulee. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ meillÀ on jo lisÀÀ rahaa budjettiin tÀnÀ vuonna.
kuten puheenjohtaja sanoi budjetissa. Sitten on mikro ja kÀytÀnnön kÀytÀntöjÀ, joita Lord Robertson ja he, jotka kirjoittivat puheenvuoron, sanoivat vuoden aiemmin. Sitten on yksityiskohtainen kysymys, sekÀ, kuten sanoit, yksityiskohtaiset rangaistukset MOTin sisÀllÀ budjetissa.
This happens all the time. I was talking to a minister from a different department about a completely different thing. He was talking with anguish about their wrestles with the treasury and how every so often they decide to go over their head and plead to Downing Street or to go to the treasury and tell them to get on with it and give this particular department the money that it needs.
It argues it really deserves for policies X, Y and Z. That has been the nature of Whitehall from the year dot. To pick up on Ben's point, the Treasury would make the argument that it has to be scrupulous, particularly at the moment, but generally has to be scrupulous about wise spending of public money and ensuring that it's delivering good value for money and
There is a long-standing critique, fair or otherwise, that's often thrown in the direction of the Ministry of Defense in particular about the extent to which projects are as wise in their use of public money as they could be. So, look, yes, that conversation is real, but perhaps no more so than in plenty of other departments. But I do think...
What we've had in the last couple of months since the war in Iran began, and this is perhaps the sharpest case study in it, this speech from Lord Robertson, is a sharpening of that argument that's been building for some time around these questions on defense. And that's going to...
demand answers in the short, medium and long term, and in the short term that is going to come down to the prime minister and the chancellor, isn't it? The specifics of this defense investment plan in the short term, and then the wider questions. And then, at the risk of getting ahead of myself, other political parties that might anticipate or desire to be in government in the next decade or so,
finding answers to these same questions around the trade-offs, around the extent to which you get that number, that proportion of our national income spent on defense up. And then there's a wider thought that struck me this afternoon in the context of what the International Monetary Fund was saying about the resilience or the rise of the British economy in the context of what's going on in Iran. Of course, we so often, don't we, in governments benchmark their commitment to defense by looking at the
suurta kansainvÀlinen tuotantoa, joka on kÀsitellyt sen. Jos sinulla on ekonomi, joka on kohtuullinen, joka on vahvistunut, joka on huonostunut konfliktiin, niin vaikka se suurta kansainvÀlinen tuotanto on kÀsitellyt, se todellinen monta rahaa, jonka voit kÀsitellÀ puolestaan, ei kÀsitellyt niin paljon kuin se olisi, jos ekonomi olisi kasvanut ja olisi parempi. SiinÀ on myös seurauksia.
Ja Chris, viimeiset ajatukset sinulle. Ei tÀmÀ ole hyvÀÀ hallituksesta, heidÀn nÀkökulmastaan. KyllÀ, lyhyt vastaus, se ei ole. Ei, se ei ole. Se vahvistaa kaikki jo vahvasti tehtÀviÀ asioita, joita he olivat sopimassa. Luulen, ettÀ isompi asia ekonomisesta takapuolesta on se, ettÀ luulen, ettÀ...
So much of the mood, the outlook, the vibe of politics and the wider national conversation and the electorate at the moment is probably in many senses, not entirely, but in many senses grounded in the kind of economic reality of the last decade.
A good number of years. And here comes yet another shock with its economic impact, at least in the short term. And let's see how long the consequences are. All of this in the swirl of the election campaigns going on ahead of the election.
I think we've talked about this on newscast before, but where the government was just beginning tentatively, publicly, to talk about how at least some, but not all, economic indicators were beginning to look perhaps a bit better. Now governments are always cautious about overdoing that, because they don't want people sort of shouting back at the government.
Koneella, puhelimella, televisiossa tai radiolla. Se ei ole se, mitÀ minulle tuntuu. He tunnevat, ettÀ siinÀ on vain alkuperÀisiÀ asioita, joita he voisivat kÀsitellÀ. Ja jatkuu tÀmÀ. Ei ole helppoa heille. Ei ole helppoa niin monille uudistajille, jotka kÀsittelevÀt sÀhköpostia.
Tervetuloa. Katsomme tÀmÀn esityksen Just after Donald Trump implemented his so-called blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which was a product of the failed negotiations in Islamabad over the weekend. So we will get the latest on that. But we're going to begin with the first report from the inquiry into the Southport attacks from 2024. So that is a flavour of what you'll hear on this episode of Newscast.
Tervetuloa, olen Adam Newscast Studioissa. Ja minun pitÀisi vain huomioida, ettÀ ensimmÀinen osa tÀtÀ jaksoa voi sisÀllyttÀÀ tietoja, joita sinÀ löydÀt huomioon. Koska me ollaan keskustellut ensimmÀisestÀ raportista, joka on tullut tÀnÀÀn.
