No I am getting rid and forming a new organisation from top to bottom rebrand implies you change the logo on the tanks like painting a bt van grey instead of yellow!

But you're still going to have a naval and an air force capabiltiy - they're just going to be called something like the Army Flotilla, Army Air Force. I think Comrade Corbyn actually wants to get rid of all our armed forces capabilities. Russia wants to invade? Hey no problem, we'll just get round a table with them and see if we can find a solution.
 
Changed my vote to Labour from Libdem. I shouldn't have allowed Farron's evangelical inclination to sway me when I sent off my postal vote, but -- sad, shallow religiophobe that I am -- it cast a shadow over my X when pen-push came to shove. Mind you, I voted for Blair the first time, and he turned out to be a warmonger looking for his reward in heaven too, so maybe I shouldn't allow my judgment to be clouded by faith. But it's as good a reason to choose as any vapourware manifesto pledge, and I get nervous when leaders let me know they think they might get a second bite of the cherry in an afterlife.

Of course in the Sevenoaks constituency it doesn't matter who you vote for. The Conservatives candidate could be a pot of blue paint, and it'd still win.
 
The labour party voted to keep trident, costing several billions. With a leader who wouldnt even theoretically use it, then its a big waste of money as it would cease to be a deterrent.

We either have it and are prepared to use it, or we dont have it.

If Corbyn ever had intentions of furthering his career he'd have lived his life very differently. It's Herr May who dreams of having an unopposed majority. Oh how that's backfired.

..and yet there he is leader of his party despite most of his own MPs opposing him and hoping to get into downing street - oh sometimes Saint Jeremy gives so much it must hurt...
 
Unfortunately people aren't good at reading - local campaigning still went ahead. National campaigns were suspended. UKIP chose not to suspend the campaigns at all which I agree with to be honest.

Still backfired pretty badly none the less.

I should certainly hope it's his ultimate wish to have no army - shouldn't everyone want that?

Context is key.

He's on cloud cuckoo land. What worries me is that he's deranged enough to think that if he disbands the British Armed Forces first then everyone else, including the Islamic State, might want to get round a negotiating table with us and work out a solution for them disarming.

There's a reason a career back bencher with a penchant for distention within his own party is currently heading up the labour party despite the derision of the MPs who have made it their life's work to kiss the backside of power in the hope of catching a few crumbs and greedily gobbling their way to the top and it has nothing to do with his designs on power, like I say, if he'd desired power he would have lived his life very differently.

He generally manages to guard his words well enough that people are swayed by the reasonable sounding bit of his argument and can't see what he really means :( kind of funny how many hold him up as a man of principle and honesty when he is rarely completely honest with anything he says.

Unfortunately while people want to believe what he says they won't ever see through him.

It would be a pretty huge gamble for any hostile state to assume that Trident wouldn't be used, whether the serving PM is keen on it or not. What if the PM has a change of heart? What if the PM is replaced? What if the PM is overruled by Parliament, or the military decide to ignore the civilian government and act independently?
