8\ We created initiatives to combat business which tried to profit on the war. To this, we made a Blacklist of Firms which used the war to lower labour standarts without adequate reasoning, and started LABOURDEFENCE initiative, where our activists provided legal aid to workers

This is not just rubbish its outright lies. Labour are a remain party secertly pushing a 2nd ref. yet telling people they will create shipbuilding jobs. Remaining in the EU SM or CU prevents this under EU procurement rules. All gov. contracts must be submitted to tender.

Incredible that a 17 year old had to step up to take part in what was an uncertain outcome! Much respect to your grandfather, I don’t know if I would’ve been able to do that when I was 17!

In today's Commons #DefenceQuestions, I asked the Minister about the procurement process for the #Type31e frigates. Does the cap of £250 million per frigate still apply? The reply from the Minister made no attempt to answer the question. What a shambles! @LabourDefence

Great to have @LabourDefence @NiaGriffithMP out on the doorstep with the excellent @SChowdhury80 in Old Portsmouth talking to residents about our lobbying of Government for a dry dock in @HMNBPortsmouth for the nation’s new carriers and better support to city veterans

You can easily verify it for yourself, by the way. No need to take anyone's word for it.

There is a question mark over whether the UK will be able to berth all these submarines & the new submarines being built. Planned disposal of the old boats is now set to a very tight timetable because ofthese delays. @haynesdeborah @LOS_Fisher @CommonsDefence @LabourDefence
3 Apr 2019
Britain has failed to fully dispose of any of the 20 submarines retired from service since 1980.
Junking them is costly (£96m per boat), but so is storing them (£12m per boat *each year*).
UK is risking reputation as a “responsible nuclear power”, gvt has been warned.

Labour's "serious environmentalism" includes backing new nuclear plants including Hinkley Point C. @labourtransport backs climate-wrecking HS2 & has not opposed the CaMKOx Expressway road. @LabourDefence backs Trident. @WelshLabour wants to build a new M4 across Gwent Levels.

For all the Conservative claims of being strong on defence, this is the embarassing reality after a decade of their self-imposed cuts. Under Labour the defence budget was around 3% of GDP (below 2% now) and the Army had over 100,000 full time soldiers. @LabourDefence
25 Feb 2019
The British Army’s full-time size has fallen to just 75,880 personnel, over 6,000 below its government set target, according to "shocking" new figures from @DefenceHQ.

In the @HouseofCommons for @DefenceHQ @LabourDefence questions. Cheap for Ministers to blame local government over lack of support for veterans when Government cuts mean councils have lost 60p out of every £1 spending since 2010
