Defence Secretary Ben Wallace could resign if Jeremy Hunt scraps defence spending boost...
The UK's new chancellor has raised the possibility of ditching a key pledge by Liz Truss to boost defence spending - a move that would likely be a resigning matter for her defence secretary, Ben Wallace. "Lets Get Real:
The NEW Treasury Team have to understand that the MONEY MARKETS are important, but also preventing WORLD WAR 3, Liz Truss has promised increasing defence spending up to 3% by 2030. The Russians are looking, the UK cannot look even more WEAK, the UK Government looks like a banana Republic, four PMs in a few years, and four Chancellors in 1 YEAR. Whatever has to be cut, it cannot be DEFENCE spending, the Defence Secretary should hold the line, let's recall that Ben Wallace was a leading candidate to succeed PM Johnson, he must wish he had run now. The Conservative right has to come out in support of defence spending, it's too important to cut, a weak Government will give the wrong impression to the Kremlin, it could lead to a nuclear attack in the Ukraine and then World War 3.
