And IIRC rather more ideologically inclined to using the military.Although they never said this publicly, they probably didn’t want to buy any F35’s at all.
We can whine and b*tch about the current clown and fruit loops show, but the government before this was much darker and dangerous when it came to military funding. Just my 2 cents, of course.
New ships are being built, new fighters and MPA purchased, assorted green wheeled kit brought into service (if the particular 21st C armoured car isn't fit for purpose, that sounds more like an Army mistake than a Cabinet one), and I'm sure I'm missing a few other projects... there's certainly more that needs doing, but the can-kicking seems to have stopped on some enormous needs.
