Former Home Office Minister Robert Jenrick has recently proposed halving the UK's foreign aid budget in order to increase defence spending. With Britain's foreign aid budget set to rise to £8.3 billion this year, the suggestion has sparked a debate on the balance between international aid and national security. Joining the discussion, former senior military intelligence officer Philip Ingram provides insights into the complexities of the issue.
Ingram delves into the implications of diverting funds from the foreign aid budget to bolster defence capabilities. While the proposal may seem logical at first glance, he highlights the interconnectedness of diplomacy, development assistance, and military operations.
By investing in conflict prevention and stability in other countries, the UK aims to reduce the need for military intervention. This strategic approach acknowledges the role of aid in promoting peace and security globally.

The British have lost their sense of self-preservation. They are a weak people in mind, character and body. They allow their adversaries into their country and they are unwilling to defend themselves. Such a weak, contemptible nation deserve to be assimilated and to disappear as a people as conquered peoples have in the past. It has happened before- like the Roman Britons who disappeared under the domination of the Anglo-Saxons. But this time it will be Muslims who will absorb them. And there is nothing the British can do about it except wring their hands and worry. LOL

I'm a veteran of the 80,s but if I had my time again I wouldn't enlist and fight for this country. Political correctness and wokism has destroyed our armed forces, police and government. Why would kids join up today to serve a country that doesn't support them for poor pay compared to police and fire fighters, poor housing and conditions with no after service support? Successive governments have destroyed our military to the point if the Falklands happened today we wouldn't be able to put a task force together. The money saved on defence has been diverted to accommodate mass immigration and the growing social security bill. This country is in a mess and it's all down to our inept government supporting everyone but it's own people. 😢

Maybe stop prosecuting British soldiers who kill in war (SAS currently). Maybe allow people to be proud of their country and fly their flags (Removing Union Jacks from buildings and Saint Georges Cross on football uniform). Maybe have a Cadet Core attached to every borrow of the UK. Maybe only recruit on merit and not on quotas. Maybe don't make Soldiers serving their country pay tax (they are already paying their fair share with their lives). Maybe put Veterans to the top of all housing lists and Medical waiting lists and provide mental health care and an affluent retirement fund. and maybe pigs will fly before any politicians do anything to address the real issues.

​@@davidh7071it is already dead mate. Everything the government do now is trying to slow the decline for themselves rather trying to turn it around for the rest of us. I keep trying to convince my older kids (I have four, between 8 years old and 19) to leave the UK for somewhere worth living, but the folly of youth combined with the protection we provide as parents means they can't really see how bad the UK has become. This scares me because it will get worse due to incompetent and cowardly 'leaders'. Two of my kids are gay so their future is particularly precarious due to the fifth column that the government are rolling the red carpet out for. The whole of Europe is doomed without some serious reconsideration of immigration from outside of it. The paradox is that the more we let in, the more of them who reach positions of power. They still engage in tribal loyalty while they demand that we don't. Look at Rishi Sunak; claims that he wants to lower immigration, but is happy to make deals for more Indian immigration. His loyalty is not to Britain, it is to India. I don't think Russia or China are our main problem, the main problem now calls itself British because their passport says that's what they are.

I disagree we can't wait to sort out procurement before we deliver more funding.We have to sort out procurement and fund simultaneously. A lot of the capability gaps we are experiencing dont even require new programmes just buying more off the shelf equipment. For example Ground Based Air Defence vulnerability could be mitigate by just more Sky Sabre. The artillery gap could be solved by just buying more Archer. The airborne early warning gap could be solved by restoring the original order to 5 not 3 aircraft. The capability of the Royal Navy could be increased by buying more Type 31 Frigates. Defence isn't hard. Getting politicians to care about it is the hard thing.

you have 2 problems, 1 UK army is is unable to recruit because UK Gov. has demoralised the British people. 2 the amount of experienced personnel who have died in Ukraine, meaning a lack of valuable experienced instructors.

The threat of war on our shores is a lot higher than they said. Just look at how many people of Fighting age that have arrived in our country in the past few years. We have no idea what or who they are See how Israel was totally surprised I think we have already been Invaded I worry about what their intentions are This needs to be brought under control They all need to be found and vetted

The procurement process in the MOD is so incompetent that the only logical explanation is this is due to corruption. Everyone who has been involved should have their bank accounts forensically examined. Every supplier of equipment should likewise have their accounts forensically examined and where corruption is found, this should be dealt with swiftly and malfeasrancants jailed. Meanwhile in the real world the £6 billion spent on track and trace has not been accounted for and no one has been even mildly inconvenienced by Police scrutiny. I don’t expect any change soon from the MOD procurement programmes.

As a vet every time they cut back the forces, they call it modernising or streamlining and it's always the boots on the ground that foot the bill, the officers are still getting waiter service at meal times (Really) the Colonel is still getting his own personal car and driver. The boys, however, get higher food and accommodation prices and higher block damage bills when there are none, mechanics are screaming out for spare parts and the grunts are doing the same for kit and ammo. I would join again just for the Life lessons; the Army taught me a lot about being a man and respect for others, I know of no ex-serviceman/woman who is not self-sufficient, as for fighting for the country and its people yes, I would fight for them but not for any current bloody Government.
