Cabinet minister QUITS over Keir Starmer slashing billions of pounds from aid budget to boost defence spending
Development minister Anneliese Dodds has resigned warning that the reduction will only increase the influence of Russia and China.
She suggested that taxes will need to rise as the new military demands cannot be met be 'tactical' reductions to spending.
That's one climate loon out of the Cabinet, but unfortunately not Ed.

Is anyone keeping track of the number of Ministers Two Tier is losing? Or is the plan that every Labour MP gets a turn? Everyone must win prizes after all.
Ed's probably conflicted. He would rather spend the money on backward societies thousands of miles away, but he relishes the challenge of running the armed forces without fossil fuels.
DJ - the idea is to give everyone ministerial experience to go on their CV when they lose the next election. Rachel Reeves already has hers written of course.
Sam - yes, he'd probably like to introduce zero carbon artillery shells and bombs which don't explode but shout a scary BANG! when they miss the target.
