Yeah, he's certainly on maneuvers, and we look forward to having him on the show.

Okay, so UK defense.

Well, fundamentally, we're trying to do it all.

And the only people who can do it all are people like the US and China.

US and China are spending so much on defense, you know, the US is spending a trillion dollars a year, that it doesn't need to make decisions and prioritize in quite the way we do.

So they bet on everything.

They have an advanced fighter, they have submarines, they have aircraft carriers, they recapitalize their army, they can munition stockpile.

We can't do all those five things, and that's the fundamental problem.

We cannot afford to both fund our own sixth-generation fighter in 2040 and have a full aircraft carrier group and have the next generation of advanced submarines and recapitalize our army and have our munitions.

We just can't do it.

But the government is incapable of making any decisions.

My guess is that even John Healey, he tries to get around it by just asking for more money.
