A reality check on “painful choices” and defence cut rumours.
Update: 2024-09-05
Description
The Defence Secretary has said “we will do our part” as the government prepares us for a “difficult” budget, fuelling speculation that some big defence projects, like new planes or ships, could be axed.
Sitrep’s Professor Michael Clarke explains why the Chancellor won’t be making any such announcements, but that that everything is up for consideration, and how difficult choices will have to be made early next year.
Also on Sitrep why the Armed Forces are pushing big into e-sports. We talk to the Army team manager from international Call of Duty tournament Code Bowl.
And the recently retired Surgeon General, Major General Tim Hodgetts, talks to us about soldiering, saving lives and how writing war poems helped him with both.
