If that is the case, then the 12% figure is really a lot higher.
I'm wasn't the one complaining that they should've intervened instead.
No, you were the one saying they couldn’t…
And your first sentence has no basis in reality, reasoning, or logic…

What are they actually about ?
I'm not about to watch two long videos.
Esp something thats says its "Explosive","Betrayal" and other obvious click bait phrases.
Starmer has claimed he had an active roll in the Rochdale sex trafficking/grooming ring prosecutions
One of the main victims evidence went so deep in the abuse that the powers that be said it was to complex and would open a can of worms they could not afford to follow up on so decided not to use her. The CPS said they could not possibly win without her evidence so this victim was named as a co conspirator so the evidence would be heard. All under Starmers watch . In the first video an ex Police officer quit because of this and exposed the story

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Now, that fool is in the Arabian peninsula.
From what I see, the UK has done nothing during the war to protect the gulf states, despite our long association and the bases we operate there.
Now, I’m a realist. I understand that past governments have hollowed out our military forces and that we are broadly incapable of doing anything meaningful inn gunboat terms.
But the very least that those fools currently in government could do is to move budgets around so that mothballed assets could be brought into use, or something; or commission new destroyers; anything that faces the real threats now in existence, not least Russia.
The British government announced vital air defences from the UK are being deployed to Arab monarchies to further support Persian Gulf partners from Iran’s aggressive missiles and drone attacks, which continue across the region.
Defence Secretary John Healey MP said:
"Iran’s aggressive attacks continue to threaten our allies and interests in the Middle East. That’s why the UK has been flying defensive missions since day one of this conflict to protect British interests and allies – and today we’re delivering further support by extending our UK jets in Qatar and deploying extra air defence teams and systems to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait."
What "mothballed assets"?
Commissioning a new destroyer isn’t a quick process…
Quote:
It is taking 11 years to build the first Type 26 frigate, HMS Glasgow and the ‘Global Combat Ship’ design that formed its basis was in gestation for about 30 years. T83 would therefore have to be developed entirely from scratch in about 5 years and built at a similar pace to the much simpler Type 31 frigates.

The British bases have played a defensive role so I would not deem to call it nothing. If you look at the Iranian propaganda videos, you will see that they have singled the UK out. They know it even if you don't.
I agree that defence spending has been hollowed out since at least the Coalition government and that the current government is showing a reluctance to increase its spending to a deadline. Any new investment in destroyers takes years to come through and hasty procurement decisions have a habit of not working out...and the MoD does not have the best procurement record as it is.
