Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?
23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness

23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness

23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness
But the Prime Minister at the time had the full support of the then Leader of the Opposition and now Prime Minister, so we were united as a House on that. I agree with the hon. Member that Boris Johnson at that moment made the right judgme…

23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness

23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness

23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness

23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness
I am pleased that the hon. Member takes my point, but I am saying that the circumstances had changed. [Interruption.] I will make the point: that is why I intentionally picked those two dates—2014, the annexation of Crimea, and 2022, the f…
23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness

19 May 2026 Energy Security
