Starmer to count rural broadband as defence spending
Broadband and bridge repairs are to be counted as defence spending under Sir Keir Starmer’s plans to redraw the definition of national security.
The Government’s national security review, due to be published before a Nato summit next week, will expand the definition to include economic stability, food prices, supply chains, crime and the internet.
It could allow the UK to hit Nato’s new defence spending target of five per cent of GDP without committing any further public money.
It's like playing poker with buttons. Surely, the thing to do is to see how many buttons are pledged by Macron then chuck in another handful of British buttons.
They have no imagination, these people.

Wondering whether Starmer is counting on commandeering the Air Force's last plane or the Navy's last ship to flee in when it all goes to pot? Or hasn't he thought that far and is simply floating about in a cloud-cuckoo land of waffle and feelings?
Barbarus - I think your second possibility is more likely - he's simply floating about in a cloud-cuckoo land of waffle and feelings. He comes across as a bit of a dunce rather than an evil mastermind.
Please, Sur, can we include pothole free roads in that?
After all those gallant service personnel have to be able to reach their posts safely. You know it makes sense.
Doonhamer - they will reach their posts safely under our proposed Electric Military Personnel Transport Integration.
