00:00So the ceasefire has been fragile since day one. This is one of the things which worries me about
00:07the state of our own defences. How are we going to help if we're not spending enough money on
00:13defence? You would have seen that I asked the Prime Minister multiple times about the defence
00:17investment plan. He's got a plan on welfare spending till 2031 and what the authors of his
00:23own strategic defence review are saying, people like General Sir Richard Barron, is that we're
00:27going backwards on defence. So if we're going to be able to do anything to help, we actually
00:32need to start rearming and tooling up right now.
