Firstly, because I no longer believe the defence investment plan was preparing for the wars we are most likely to fight. The character of warfare is changing at an exceptional speed.
We have neither the political capital nor the resources to spare for this unjust journey.
The Labour Party now has an important job to do. The country is watching to see if we can get our act together and focus on the work we were elected to do. That's where my focus is now.
I think the premise of the question is welfare over warfare - a pound off a nurse to give it to a soldier? And I just don't agree with that premise.
