If Keir Starmer was running White Star Line in 1912 - ‘We abandoned ship in a sustainable way and fair way. I am proud of our record of funding lifeboats. I will do everything possible to keep our passengers safe from icebergs’.

In April Government announced £7bn extra for those with special education needs (SEND). There was not one quibble from anyone at the Treasury, nor the Chancellor. Dept for Education’s & Sec of State’s demands met without question. Very different from Defence.

The lines the Prime Minister has come out with tonight make it pretty clear unelected officials in the Treasury are deciding where and when Government spends money. Is the Treasury no longer fit for purpose?

Starmer has u-turned on defence and has spun the Treasury line tonight. ‘Strong public finances are part of what keeps us safe - irresponsible borrowing only puts that at risk’.
That is complete horse shit.

What would be interesting is if CDS has said if he doesn’t get the funding he believes he needs he will resign. I very much doubt it but it is one explanation for the further delay.
