00:00There is a corrosive complacency today in Britain's political leadership.
00:06Lip service is paid to the risks, the threats, the bright red signals of danger.
00:13But even the promised national conversation about defence can't be started.
00:20The cold reality of today's dangerous world is that we cannot defend Britain with an ever-expanding welfare budget.
00:31Britain's welfare budget is now five times the amount we spend on defence.
00:40So I ask, are we certain that this is the right priority, jeopardising people's future safety and security
00:48whilst maintaining an increasingly unsustainable welfare bill?
