Defence Review

Liam Fox felt it necessary to have a article in the Telegraph today defending that the defence cuts have not gone too far and we can still react to the unexpected. Despite the fact that the rescue operation is being done by a soon to be de-commissioned ship. He also waxes lyrical about the capability of the new carriers - and conveniently forgets that they are more than five years away.

Next is the "fourth biggest" spender on defence argument. I think he could do much better by ensuring that is met by "value for money", too often we throw money at contracts that are under valued and then run into painful spending overruns.
