It’s literally there in black and white. Money goes to Ukraine to purchase drones. We manufacture drones. There’s no conspiracy theory involved.

Similarly American politicians are on record about the value of the investment in Ukraine that returns to American shores in terms of jobs, specifically weapons manufacturers.
“Money is being spent with UK arms manufacturers” is a fact.

“We are involved in Ukraine so we can spend money with UK arms manufacturers” is a conspiracy theory.

It is difficult to understand your claim that Sunak is making “trips to Ukraine to fund our military industrial complex” in any way other than indulging in that conspiracy theory.
