If Ukraine really wants to hit Russia where it hurts, it must increase attacks against its rail network and other core infrastructure.

The Times and The Sunday Times Shapps also has a direct message for Germany - they must supply their Taurus missiles to Ukraine. 'They are in limited supply and there are a lot of them available in Germany. So yes, they absolutely should be supplied. They would make a recognisable difference.”
Alan Mendoza Sky News I appreciated the shout out by Robert Clark and the discussion. The question is not should we buy ‘the’ Iron Dome (no) but rather do we need ‘an’ Iron Dome ie layered air defences (most certainly yes)
Does the #UK need an #IronDome like #Israel ?

My new paper for Council on Geostrategy, on why #space matters for the UK -- and, more importantly, HOW to make the case for it. As Jonathan Amos noted, I argue for a DEFENCE-centric view of UK #space policy. Listing 'all the things space is good for' doesn't cut it.

BREAKING: UK is putting its defence industry on a 'war-footing' - investing £10 billion to ramp up production- as part of a plan to increase defence spending by 2.5% by 2030, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has declared.
This is a really big deal
Deborah Haynes Alessio Patalano Rishi Sunak 2.28 per cent last year (according to NATO) to 2.5 per cent in six years time is not 'a really big deal', still less a 'war footing'. It's a small step in the right direction. More than some are doing (France, Germany, Italy etc) but a lot less than Poland or the Baltic states.

Back to basics: what is childcare policy for?👶🧩
This report, foreworded by Miriam Cates, argues that in order to improve childcare policy in the UK, we first need to go back to basics and agree on what it is that it’s actually trying to achieve.
Highly informative & timely event today at Policy Exchange, w/ Sir Michael Fallon & the excellent John Spencer - Prof Spencer took great care to highlight how the laws of armed conflict are being adhered to during Israel's legitmate war against Hamas, despite the int. narrative
