Hello.
Hello.
Hello, James.
Now, we're going to talk about the defence investment plan.
But before we get into the detail of what was announced, Chris, worth saying that this was Keir Starmer's first speech since he resigned.
last Monday or announced his resignation last Monday.
And not only that, but talking about the very thing that lots of people would say directly led to his downfall.
And there's a couple of strings to that, aren't there?
The idea that the UK needs to be more like Ukraine, or at least needs to learn lessons from Ukraine in terms of being, I think some people have described it as small and scrappy and investing in emerging tech, not least drones.
And secondly, that the defence funding for the UK can't come at the expense of
of public services, although it has to come at the expense of something.
And there's a bit of a tussle there.
So let's just have a listen to the Prime Minister talking about that Financial Balancing Act.
And there's a fundamental shift, particularly for the Royal Navy, in terms of, we've talked about destroyers way back to the 19th century, and the UK has six destroyers at the moment, and there was a plan to replace them with a new class of destroyer.
The number hadn't, I don't think, been confirmed as to how many, although some defence experts thought there might be half a dozen.
