Luke McGee: Spurs fans need to get...

Spurs fans need to get a grip. You had a good season, based on how you played. You were bad enough to be relegated and just about scraped through with some lucky results/playing weakened sides who had other fish to fry. Stop moaning!

There has been a bit of a shift lately: people who previously said the Brexit debate was over, so make the best of it, are now saying it's been a great success. Probably a coincidence, but it's coming at the same time as a rejoin debate in the Labour party becomes inevitable, as outlined by top colleague @joncstone

Luke McGee: Very fair to criticise Starmer…

Very fair to criticise Starmer for not publishing DIP yet, but also a lot of brass neck for Tories to pretend they have any credibility on defence spending. Creative accounting 2010 onwards meant our % gdp on defence got shifted to balance other books, gutting defence.

Luke McGee: Trump has 2 options…

Trump has 2 options if he wants to break the deadlock in Iran: embarrassing climbdown or significant escalation. Neither guarantees US success, but the alternative is a status quo where US soft power gets weaker by the day. My latest for @theipaper

A study by Ukraine's military ombudsman found that soldiers deployed for over 40 days on front-line positions develop apathy and "stop caring whether they survive or not,"

Luke McGee: This not what I meant about Badenoch and Starmer…

This not what I meant about Badenoch and Starmer not making the Robertson intervention political. Badenoch is correct to ask where the Defence Investment Plan is. Starmer is right to say Tories left national security defence a mess. Neither point makes us safer. Grow up. #PMQs.
