@boblister_poole Burnham is clueless, he wants to have conversations and debates about everything but hasn’t got a clue what he wants to achieve. Typical Marxist who is quite happy to ignore the democratic process.View quoted post on X
ABOUT TIME WE HAD A SOLDIER IN CHARGE OF DEFENCE.View quoted post on X
Reform have just appointed Wing Commander Angus MacIntyre as Shadow Armed Forces Minister. 💥👌
40 YEARS in uniform.
Joined the Army in 1986 at 18 — 13 years with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, tours with the Royal Marines and Para's.
Brunei jungles, Arctic Norway, Northern Ireland.
Then RAF Regiment from 1999 — Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Somalia — a year in Mogadishu advising the Somali Army, a year inside the Pentagon, and the last 4 years at NATO HQ in Brussels coordinating Britain's support for Ukraine.
Compare that to Labour's Defence team.
Wes Streeting
head of education at Stonewall charity, chief exec of the Helena Kennedy Foundation education charity, President of the NUS. Student politics to charity to MP.
No disrespect to charity work but charity work doesn't teach you how to defend a country.
Angus has more experience than the entire Labour Defence team combined. That's not a slogan, that's his service record.♥️
We need armed forces people at the heart of our national defence, who understand what it means to serve, and who will treat veterans and serving personnel with the respect they deserve.
Thank you for your service .
