Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says Government defence expert Fiona Hill warns UK to respond to threats by becoming more cohesive and resilient

It’s taken too long, but finally Britain is facing up to the fact that #Russia has been waging war on Britain for YEARS. A family friend told Hill, ‘Don’t tell us how shite we are, tell us what we can do, how we can fix things.’ #DefenceReview #FionaHill #Ukraine #NATO #r4today

Starmer’s War Plan: Inside the UK Defence Review 2025 Labour’s defence review ramps up UK militarism with nukes, drones & no real peace plan. New face, same war machine. Read the facts.

Read how Starmer’s ‘change’ is just more of the same.

They want your kids to fight their war. The rich and powerful won’t be on the frontlines—but they’ll send working-class youth to die for their interests. £80B for war prep, but nothing for peace, housing, or the NHS. Hell no. We won’t go #DefenceReview

@thestigabell.bsky.social @kateemccann.bsky.social I am shocked that the #DefenceReview makes no mention of preparing for effects of direct missile or drone attacks on UK citizens. Where are plans for air raid shelters or sirens, warning app. So much for protection of citizens being first priority!

I have to admit Robert is bang on target here. Not really his fault, it’s just the way he is, he’s not a natural politician but they should think about extra media training or something. #r4today #DefenceReview #KeirStarmer

To the ramparts! Sir Keir summons hard power for hard times | John Crace PM’s defence review reveal mixes fighting talk with wide-eyed wonder at promise of a war dividend

"This was no time for old people to moan about having their winter fuel allowance taken away. Rather they should be asking what they could be doing for their country. Joining the Home Guard. Knitting socks for fighter pilots."

Defence review plans will make army ‘10 times more lethal’, says John Healey – as it happened Defence secretary says ‘the world is more dangerous’ as he addresses MPs about strategic defence review

My question for Sec of State re #DefenceReview

Precisely my thoughts. I don't want the #DefenceReview to be what % of GDP but: who are our potential foes; what are their relative strengths; what are our relative weaknesses; & what can we do in light of these? #bbcbh
