  1. I think it’s become very clear that WW3 is basically happening within the next 10 years if not sooner.

  2. We can’t afford our current Navy as they have cut the legs off our armed forces

  3. This is what happens when we make cuts to defence we play catch up

  4. Great time to invest into BAE systems and
    Rolls Royce

  5. I’m all for it however… It’s to little to late. By the time they get some “combat ready”, ww3 will already be kicking off or probably over.

  6. None of you with brazen statements like WW3 happening in 20 years will have even an iota of willingness to spend some real money on your thesis.

  7. Wars these days are all about resources. Britain has nothing to offer. We could disband our military and no-one would invade us.

  8. Great to see, really wasn’t expecting geopolitics to one of Labours biggest strengths. Traditionally its what the party is seen as weakest at, yet they’ve been knocking it out of the park.

  9. Looks like we’re going all in on our comparative advantage of being sea power specialists.

    Makes sense in fairness. As much as people may hate it, a somewhat integrated, European side of NATO force is going to be the future now

  10. Are we building them with the corpses of our poor and disabled?

    Hard being confronted with the brutal truth, isn’t it.

  11. Once again, hope I am wrong. They put most funds to raf navy leave us Army out of it

  12. To be completed in 2050 and billions over budget .

    Defence contractors laughing all the way to the Cayman Islands.

  13. The UK can’t even stop the current invasion in the channel !

  14. I will celebrate when they are actually commissioned.

    The initial plan for our current destroyers was also 12 (or 14 even I think) and they slowly got whittled down to 6.

    I have no trust in long term announcements like this anymore.

  15. The Royal Navy you can see isn’t up to much. The Royal Navy you cannot see are absolutely terrifying and could end the world.

  16. And still we can’t stop unarmed people in dinghies.

  17. there’s always money for attack submarines we’ll never use and never money to feed children
