Jeremy Hunt: “The bill addresses complex moral issues and bypassing the Lords would likely be challenged so I would not be in favour…”

I think it sends a message that our senior DOD officials seem to be more focused on political--pet projects than actually the insurance of readiness in our force.

it is incredibly important, especially as we look at our threats abroad and what is going on with our adversaries--China, Russia, Iran, North Korea--that our military is focused on developing and training and developing warfighters.

I describe it as a loose collection of progressive political ideas that are constantly thrust upon our institutions.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
