The Government’s 10,000 cut to our armed forces is a reckless and misguided error. The Prime Minister may talk the talk, but he has clearly broken his election pledge not to cut the armed forces. Instead, the Government want to focus on shiny new tech- but this won’t go anywhere near enough in replacing the expertise of our military.

From helping in the fight against flooding to their remarkable work during this pandemic, our armed forces have stood by us. It is time that the Government stands up for them. Warrington North has a proud military history and as a member of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme and an employer signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant, I will always champion the amazing work done by our military.
