PM hails defence sector as offering ‘next generation of secure, well-paid jobs’
Sir Keir Starmer has hailed the defence sector as offering “the next generation of good, secure, well-paid jobs”, after it was announced that defence ministers will set a target for spending money with small businesses.
Officials are looking to boost the access of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to Armed Forces supply chains, following the Prime Minister’s announcement that defence spending would be increased to 2.5% of GDP by 2027.
Hang on - isn't the promise of secure, well-paid jobs one of Ed Miliband's green jobs promises? Maybe we should combine the two promises and think in terms of electric tanks covered in solar panels supported by bamboo gliders armed with scary degradable leaflets...
No that's too silly even for Ed World...
Okay, maybe Ed is on the way out, as save the planet worries veer away from settled science and green jobs to the prospect of not being able to operate the radar except when it's windy.

Artisan munitions supplied out of old railway arches, and laser guidance systems knocked up in back bedrooms.
Sam - maybe he means hand-crafted brass buttons and custom made epaulettes in rainbow colours.

Because that worked SO well against Wuhan Flu.
decnine - yes, take away 'Officials are looking to boost' and many things would work better in many areas.
I was just thinking of starting an anti-tank rocket company from my spare room. I need the extra cash
Bucko - good idea, but it may need to be zero carbon, so something which fires old bricks might tick all the boxes.
It's a sure sign of a fourth rate intellect when someone says that something-or-other - e.g. expanding and improving the armed forces - is a priority and then introduces regulations to clog up the process.
dearieme - they seem to be like fourth rate journalists where the words are the thing and after the words it's time to move on to something else.
