Defence Spending

Open culdrose as a fast jet base, so we have one at the top, middle and bottom of the country.

Look, as much as I'd love it, you can't just simply decide one day that a base is to be a frontline fast jet base when it's been a helicopter-focused base for decades. Culdrose is not equipped for the permanent/long-term basing of fast jets. There isn't the space, nor the facilities. There was one airfield in the far southwest that was, but you'd have to ask Cornwall Council for it back.

Correct.
