Jeremy Quin: The Government’s defence investment ensures a modern, persistent and effective approach to future threats

Spending amounts to an extra £24 billion over four years from today’s levels, helping to equip our Armed Forces.

By Jeremy Quin | 31 March 2021

Nicolas Clark: The Government’s defence plans are based on a stark choice – ‘go large’ or ‘go smart’

Even if a large conventional military suited Britain’s needs, the public is not prepared to pay for one.

By Nicolas Clark | 26 March 2021

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: Davies wonders whether the Prime Minister is a Conservative

Starmer attacked Johnson for promising not to cut the size of the Army, yet now doing exactly that.

By Andrew Gimson | 24 March 2021

Sarah Ingham: After the party, the hangover. This week, the Integrated Review. Next Monday, defence cuts?

The review was described as ‘the most comprehensive Review since the Cold War’. For those with memories of previous reviews, this probably caused hearts to sink a tad.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 20 March 2021

Garvan Walshe: The Integrated Review’s tilt to Asia could leave us vulnerable closer to home – and Putin

The impulse of Brexit is to prove Britain’s openness by striking out, but this tilt increases our security dependence on Europe.

By Garvan Walshe | 18 March 2021

James Sunderland: The Integrated Review. To project power in the world, we musn’t skimp on support arms and force protection

And if that projection is to be effective, we will need to invest in our operating bases – and not just at traditional sites.

By James Sunderland MP | 15 March 2021

Sarah Ingham: The Duchess, the Queen – and that Oprah interview. It’s time for Johnson to step in.

Reports that the former brought pressure to bear on ITV are alarming. Can we look forward to a new series – Britain’s Got Feudalism?

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 14 March 2021

Fiyaz Mughal: Britain must honour its obligations to Afghan translators who served with our soldiers

The Defence Secretary has done the right thing by extending support to those no longer serving, but that needs to be followed with action.

By Fiyaz Mughal | 11 March 2021

Barney Campbell: The case for a new national service scheme – driven by incentives, not compulsion

Doing more to incentivise recruitment is not only good for the Armed Forces, but benefits the rest of society too.

By Barney Campbell | 8 March 2021

Fifteen million people have been vaccinated against Covid on time. Here are thirty more fields in which Britain leads the world.

The success in procurement and distribution prompts the question of what else we are outstandingly good at.

By Andrew Gimson | 17 February 2021 | 17 comments

Bernard Jenkin: How long can the intensity of vaccination be sustained?

The Government should engage local authorities and the 10,000 military personnel held at high readiness to provide increased resilience.

By Sir Bernard Jenkin MP | 26 January 2021 | 23 comments

Profile: Ben Wallace, one of Johnson’s Long Marchers, and a traditional but also irreverent Defence Secretary

Here is a politician educated at Sandhurst and on active service with the Scots Guards in Northern Ireland, not by reading PPE at Oxford.

By Andrew Gimson | 26 January 2021 | 13 comments

Andrew Bowie: That weekend poll and Scotland’s future. Until we start to call ourselves British, why should anyone else?

The only institutions I can think of that retain the term ‘British’ are the BBC and the British Army – and, in Scotland, its Twitter handle is @ArmyScotland.

By Andrew Bowie | 25 January 2021 | 120 comments

Does cross-party support for the Mali mission signal a new consensus on deploying troops overseas?

British regular soldiers will be on the ground in a new theatre for the first time since Iraq – and Labour are fully on board.

By Henry Hill | 11 December 2020 | 29 comments

John Healey: Ministers have a democratic duty to explain the role of British combat troops in Mali

It should remain a basic principle that no Government commits British troops into a conflict zone before a full statement in the Commons.

By John Healey | 3 December 2020 | 25 comments
