To late an Army has already landed on our beaches in rubber dinghies ⛵️ and we’ve done nothing but let them in ?
Good , we need cheap labour to pay for war budget
You gotta be tuff to be that dumb
@@zakjuly6721 better to use Amazon robots than those Jihadis.
@@zakjuly6721 So....slaves you mean.
Sunak has tried hard to combat the immigration problem, and labour has only put obstacles in his way.
2030 is still a long way away. The UK needs a world class military
Secure the border.
Stop sending money abroad and start spending money on defense now.
@stuartrice8143 Stop lining US pockets.
Can’t even produce steel 😂
He is as close to Sir Winston Churchill as gnat is to a British Lion..🤣
So what is your point? What do you suggest should be done?
What do you propose? Or is criticism the limit of your contribution.
@@Channel-M-Default-23 Sunak has made a debacle of The Nation with his "policies" and no matter what he and his apologists spout If there was a conflict with China or Russia he could NEVER rally the English people behind him, like Sir Winston did, as to Iran there are enough Hamas/Palestinian terrorist supporters here that he can give tacit support to..Simply put he has no credibility with us
Oswald Mosley>Fat drunk Winston Churchill
He is not fit to clean Winston Churchills boots.
In Poland for St George’s Day .. perfect example of where his loyalties are & it’s not the UK or England 🏴
Hes got better things to do
@@tdawg999 - like quoting Winston Churchill in Poland ?? .. or scaremongering about big bad Russia when the UK is under 2 tier policing & under attack from within ?? 🤔
Silly Ivan. St Georges day is not a pubic holiday.
@@gnasher688It's not quite scare mongering is it? I mean everything he said in this instance was true
Wrong flag! 🏳 😑 this is the Flag of the UK 🇬🇧
Well Putin isn't Hitler, Russia isn't Germany, it's not 1938, and Sunak is most certainly no Winston Churchill.
Spot on 100% accurate comment!
1939
And you have no brains.
It's not 1938 but with the behaviour of some people with their pointless marches,it certainly feels like it.
No,he is th White House shoe shine boy.
Zelensky will be richer than Elon Musk soon😅😅😅😅
Whilst British police beat seven colours out of Englishmen of all colours simply for carrying the flag
Only English men can be White.
You must conform ,obey. your order when they come in due coarse for its all in the name of the flag Charles is waving for a more sustainable world that he can then live in?
Britain has been trying very hard to stay relevant lately. I doubt any of the aforementioned countries think about the UK when planning military policies.
£350m a week for the NHS..... i wouldn't believe a word that this man says 👄 💩
Thats what foreigners plan to cost per week (each).
@@DarrenJamiesonJamieson we can send a total 350 people to Rwanda (if Rwanda agrees to take the ones we ask them to and Rwanda can refuse) and it will cost 1.8 million per person.... I think our local school would be happy to get 1.8 million as the place is a bit clapped out! 🏚 💩
Did you ever believe him ?
@@simonwood1402 Yeah, but what would the world do without fleas!
@@simonwood1402it's worth it to get them out of the country
More concerned about foreign issues , than home affairs. Referring to a famous board game :RISK Sunak.....
Don't be so sure this is more a party political policy than it seems. He has boxed labour into that commitment if they win the next election.
The greatest threat to UK is unelected PM Riishii Suenak himself
David Cameron and Boris Johnson too. They need arresting.
A lie gets half way around the world, before the truth has a chance to get its pants on (Winston Churchill)
I hope Rishi is strong. He seems to be "swimming into the current" on almost every issue facing Grest Britain along with the geo politics he is constantly reacting to.
Tough going to be in charge??
War footing... it's barely above the minimum NATO goal of 2% to a staggering 2,5% towards 2030...
NATO doesn’t have a minimum 2% is just recommended. The U.K. is one of only a few that are over 2%. This budget increase is a 25% increase in spending it’s massive
In the 1980s UK spending on Defence as a proportion of GDP was over 5.5%. We had 1,200 tanks. Now we have around 200. We are a Maritime Nation and yet our Navy is now a third the size it was in the 1980s. 2.5% by 2030 is pitiful.
@@jona826 that’s because the nhs didn’t cost so much back then if we scrap the nhs the sure we could afford to go back up to that level. We need higher tax’s or to scrap the nhs there’s no good option
@@user-zg1wr8bu1y Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: "The 2% guideline is not a ceiling, it's a minimum, it's a floor." I never said it was a requirement, I said it was a goal. What I reacted to was calling the hike in spending as going into "war footing" which is quite ridiculous. Especially considering that some NATO countries now spend over 3% of GDP, and others has that kind of spending as their new goal. It's laudable, for sure, but no need for hyperbole. We are living in perilous times, and everyone in Europe should wake up to this fact.

Shame he doesn’t focus on the real enemy in the UK .. the UK needs to look closer to home & be prepared to defend the once Great Nation
You mean from the Homeless Drug addicts who keep asking for spare change , yes they are the real enemy .
i·so·la·tion·ist much?
@@jf8643 - nothing wrong with isolation .. it’s good for the soul 😁
@gnasher688 I have feeling I know what your answer will be, however who in your opinion poses the biggest threat?
@@boota1979 - my reply comment would get deleted straight away but I think you know exactly who I mean .. there’s enough proof of what is happening .. also TR’s court case today proved there is 2 tier policing & the indigenous people are treated like dog $h1t
Then he will have to be friends with Putin, just as Churchill became friends with Stalin. It would have been better if he had quoted Gandhi. I remember that the war ended with the loss of all the colonies for Britain. 🤣
This is no where near enough spend on National defence. Just look at our history pre second world war. Absolutely awful! Appeasement is
never the answer. Shame we did not take the lessons to be learnt from our hoping to bribe the vikings etc not to be so nasty go us! Obviously this policy was doomed to failure, and it failed.
If we are serious about the first responsibility of government, which is defence of the realm, then we need to step up to the mark and budget for more than this petty sum. Much talk but little delivery and even that is tomorrow! This is very disappointing!
The money is going in the pockets of politicians and there investors
"there investors"? Is this a duo word proper noun?
All goes to help McDonauld Hummp win the next election: Is there any other one?
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, uhh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
Without war you would probably be living in a 3rd world country making 10$ a day sing what you like but every country is greedy any country who has nothing to defend themselves become slaves
Rule Brittania if the british royal navy never happened you would be definitely living in the slums in the middleeast thats for sure
Frankie goes to Hollywood whilst sunak goes to Bollywood or is it hollywood california after the landslide
Unfortunately, over years we reduced our arm forces, and now it may be too little to late !
We always know we can really rely on dummies
He knows nothing about defending a country and knows norhing about the psychology of war either. Making out that he knows all about this stuff, when he doesn't, makes him a very dangerous man. Who'll arm our enemies, do as he is told, but the way that he makes it all sound like its all coming our of his own pocket!
I can see a conscription plan being set up for young men and women that will raise our armed forces, same thing happened in 1939 when our armed forces was at our lowest when germany invaded poland.
Got money for wars not for nhs
If he gets rid of the asylum seekers and illegals, then we will have!
War footing 😂 it will take years
Visited any food banks lately Sunak?.
He will insist on referring to their enemies by their preferred pronouns.
So the money comes from the poor and disabled or the rich HAHAHA.
Take a close look at those 3 - now why do you think the world is laughing us ?
I can’t listen to him.
You’re not alone. 🤬
As an Indian i can't either
Who do you prefer to listen to? Starmer, who just blames others and has no ideas of his own. Your comment is not trendy, your just another sheep in the flock, with your inane, no value add comment.
He makes my blood boil 😡😡
@@_R4ND0M_P3RS0N Why does he make your blood boil?
I’m wondering if Churchill would say, it’s late’.
Let's not forget the boats still coming in
Who wants to fight for this guy ?
Don't you dare say about Churchill, you need to get out now
The 3 Stooges - in charge of our country - God help us!
Isn’t it so worrying how he can lie so easily.. and think that we believe what he is saying. 🤬
Your country?
Russia?
Interesting to see a Typhoon painted with allied invasion stripes 👀
Wow guy, you must be a force for "good" that will confront all that won't conform.
Australia on war footing as well - we intend to spend more money in five years time - lol😊
75 billion sounds like a lot but it's a drop in the ocean in comparison to the real amount needed to fetch our army up to scratch. Our military is tiny because of government cuts to spending year after year for decades, we're seen as a joke by Russia, China even Iran and north Korea don't take us seriously. We've been complacent and caught napping and increasingly spending by less than 1% GDP by 2030 is laughable.
Obviously lots of holes in the defences....why not plug those holes first...,?
What about Britain and chabati😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't care what anyone says, we need 2 be proud 2 be British. Everybody moans but have a look around the planet and pick where u would prefer 2 live. Not many countries spring 2 mind do they? Exactly. Be thankful 4 what we got. Yea things could be better, could be a hell of alot worse 2. Proud 2 be British. 🇬🇧 ❤️
Absolutely! I am blessed to be in this safe country
He's flashing our hard earned money and giving it away to make him look caring
this is the most patriotic I've seen sunak
Finally Europe is waking up one country at a time? It is good to hear what Zelensky spoke about in his speeches right after the invasion of Ukraine now is starting to be reverberated all across Europe in a more forceful manner. Good to see countries acting with clarity on the issue of the real threat.
Apparently the Navy no longer requires you to pass a swim test they are that desperate
Will it be too little too late?
So Sunak wants to fight Britain’s WW2 Allies.
Russia China Belarus North Korea and Serbia and former Yugoslavia. Ridiculous.
Traditionally Britain is an ally of Russia, as a way of maintaining the balance of power in Europe. Ref WW2 WW2 Napoleonic wars, Greek wars of independence and Austrian wars of succession.
Ref WW1 also
Maharishi Sunak with his little Chaiwalah Grant Schnapps. Receptionist Stoltenberg trying very hard. 😎🇷🇺👍
75m isnt qlot compared to what we have given away and they still need more ,we need to start thinking serious defence personally i think 75m is a token we should be putting in billions as that 75m wont go far ,are whole military needs more to ke3p up and there needs to be better pay for are servicemen ,railways paying there young lads 50k a year after 2 year course and thats just on the lines drivers 60k year plus ,there pay needs to be fair now
He's very cheesy & uncool.
that handshake was so awkward
Sunak needs to go to
75,000 civil service jobs to go to pay for it 😡
That's WEF mantra.
Nailed it!
Who voted and made you leader what happed to the king
Jibbby jabby
Silly Ivan. The British have a parliamentarian not a presidential system. The governing party picks who is PM not the general public because they vote for their local MP and it's been like that for centuries.
@@Dark_Bandon But that isn't how it happened in Sunaks case is it?
@@boota1979 Oh Richard IVAN Saunders. Be useful and go sign a Russki bumski military contract because your comments are not making the grade.

I think we’ve actually got 30 F35s to go on those carriers. I think we would have had 34… but mumble mumble. Mind you the flight decks are reinforced nicely… and properly coated for VTOL. Then there’s General Dynamics Ajax! I hope that works now… oooh and that fancy new radio… er Morpheus? Yeah! I hope that works now too. Just as well there’s Bovvy tank museum 😃
@rlbf1967 F35's, more money stolen from the British people and given to an American company!!
What the hell are you going on about???
Think we only have about 40 operational tanks
The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂🔥
Compared to who?
Russia? 😅
China?? 😂
America???😂😂😂
EU (Nameless countries) 😂😂😂😂
INDIA???!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
5:40 uk leading by example? Look who dumps the most money into un defense budgets. It was agreed a % of gdp was to be paid into the fund by every country in nato. Look into who has not met that agreement EVER!
0:58. "we're gonna stand over here ok, over here? yes over here, "gentlemen" you can either stand on my left hand or my right for the photograph whichever you prefer". Like it makes a difference thats is politics.😂

Start and stop Russia bringing havoc on innocent people of Ukraine 🇺🇦, then keep it going to bring this big small world back to reality but you are 100% correct what you’re talking about
I think you should listen to sunak.... He is talking sense
The lesson of WW2 is that Britain should have made an alliance with Russia in the 1930s.
Ref The proposed Eastern Pact that was rejected by Britain.
Also the Polish German Pilsudski Hitler Pact of 1934 that set the stage for WW2.
I bet sunak can't kill a chicken. 😂
500 million will put Putin oil industry back 100 years back to coal.😂
if the cia know Ukraine will loose thus war why doesn't Ukraine become neutral then Russia will have to rebuild ukriane then they will leave Ukraine alone
That is green. This is blue my hero of the hour. Is Russia was the Eastern block with just cyberia. Or on motorway was. Mobies don that.
I feel that Western leaders lack the charisma, courage, and ability that leaders should have. Also lacking, vision.
All lies
Blokes a joke! You could hire a few navy boats with that mate? You wana start thinking about the people of this country first🇬🇧!
UK is also simultaneously preoccupied with allowing Islamic enclaves within the UK, and rescuing illegal immigrants in the channel and weakening security.

The British must be held accountable for military assistance to Ukraine
You must have just woken up from a coma. Most countries have contributed with aid, not soldiers, in their fight against a higher power.
"Army chiefs have voiced concern about budget cuts seriously impacting the capabilities of the British military to function properly, particularly given tensions with Russia and China, and attacks on shipping.
A new cruise missile system for British warships is due to be introduced in 2028."
Think that may be too late!
