Defence secretary denies Trump is reason for UK defence spending boost
Defence Secretary John Healey has denied Donald Trump is the reason UK defence spending is being increased to 2.5% of GDP.
Asked by Wilfred Frost on Sky News Breakfast whether it is fair to say the UK would not be boosting defence spending if it were not for the US president, Mr Healey said: "No, it's not."
Of course not, there is no connection whatever, nobody could possibly believe otherwise, it is plainly a completely authentic, not at all rushed, long-cherished, necessary policy change, foreseen years ago during fourteen long, weary years of supine Tory profligacy, mapped out by top military experts using some of the funds generated by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves and Prime Minister Sir Keir Spudgun and their wise oversight of economic policy.

As the song nearly asks "Who do you think you are kidding Mr Healey ...?"
This Government has steadfastly refused to bow to 'events' until now. The trip to see Trump must be a coincidence?
