The British military wastes billions every year sustaining overseas operations. We don’t need more military spending. We need a new foreign policy.

Our latest report @TransitionSec estimates the costs of Britain’s global military strategy and its overseas deployments.
NEW: Keir Starmer declared last year that the “peace dividend” was over, promoting the myth that Britain’s military spending has declined since the end of the Cold War.
 
Our latest report shows this simply isn’t true. 🧵

"In Yemen you've got Royal Saudi Air Force jets, flown by Saudi pilots, but the pilots are trained by Britain. The bombs are supplied by Britain. The maintenance is supplied by Britain. The jets themselves are British built, and that British support sustains the aerial operations..." - @davidwearing
