Norway's Purchase of Type 26 Frigates
Beyond the economic boost for the UK, the sale of Type 26 Frigates to Norway is a vote of confidence for the strategic partnership and NATO planning.

5 in August
Fewer in February
Cost or politics? Right now I am calling it a toss up. Starmer is in real trouble with his budget, his party, the parliament and other countries are taking notice.
Trump has got nothing on Starmer when it comes to reversing himself.

500,000 civil servants
5,000,000 public sector employees
50% of households are net recipients of state benefits.
That is the drag on any fool that volunteers for the job.

In terms of %'s, how do we fair?
Also, I'd be curious to know if the 20+yr trend of 'reducing' power residing within London out into the 'regions' Wales/Scotland/NI/England in the area of 'local/regional' power has lead to massive redundancies in the delivery of services and an increase in the 'need' for a greater number of PS individuals.
The 'trend' to 'go local' within the EU in the mid 90's when I was doing my MPA on the EU in Belgium/The Netherlands was just beginning to take off. The belief was that those locally were more in tune with what services needed to be provided within a certain area and who better to deliver those services and make those decisions but the local people. I've not followed this belief for many years, only in passing over the last 2+ decades but I can see (now and then) that it would lead to a massive increase in the 'state' and those that work for and deliver state services.
