We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

One of our favourite spaces to create on this project.
This stunning indoor pool and spa area was designed to bring a sense of luxury, relaxation and connection to the outdoors. From the expansive glazing to the bespoke finishes, every detail was carefully considered.

The Downfall of Numenor by Edvige Faini
NUMENOR
"But wrathful were the Gods of old
And broke the Men that once were bold.
The Earth was rent and Seas towered to the sky:
Numenor was drowned and heard not its maidens cry.
The Sea arose in frightening might.
And waves that looked like endless night.
The mountains fell and towers broke
And thus the mind of Iluvatar spoke."

AI-enhanced cyberattacks will probably become a massive problem in coming years. The only long-term solution is to move (with the help of AI) to verified software, which will require rebuilding almost the entire software base in verifiable languages.
