        @NC_Prime Most likely going to be a case of stretching what "defence" actually encompasses.

        @navalhistwar Yea, there are plenty of ways they could spend money without buying back capability, but I'd like to think they'll try.

        @NC_Prime In the first instance it will be just about maintaining where we currently are. The only big ticket might be a MPA/MMA.

        @navalhistwar We'd probably give you a good deal on some P-8s, or do you think they'll resurrect some Nimrod variant?

        George Osborne's delivery has improved year on year. Hard to speak for 69 minutes, but he's much better at it now than in 2010. @BBCBreaking
