00:00Well, this is the same Conservative Party who had power, let's not forget, for 14 years. We haven't forgotten that.
00:05Let's look at what they did. They crushed military spending. They crushed it by about 100 basis points in terms
00:13of a percentage of GDP. They hollowed out our military, they hollowed out our Navy, our Army and our Air
00:18Force.
00:18And, you know, my first question would be, in terms of a big, sophisticated Iron Dome, is does it work
00:24on dinghies? You know, that's the insane situation we have. As I said, hostile actors operating at the behest of
00:30a nation state that is effectively at war with the United Kingdom, has struck our sovereign territory. We know this
00:36is happening. The government are not denying that it's happening. And instead of securing our border, they are laying on
00:41police escorts for them.
00:42And the Tories were even worse. The Tories let in 130,000, mainly military aged men, from countries that despise
00:49Britain over their 14 years. Even Labour haven't gotten to that number yet. So I'm afraid nothing the Tories say
00:55on this matter should be taken remotely seriously.
