Keir Starmer is leaving British troops underfunded and unable to carry out the operations he expects from them, according to scathing remarks delivered in parliament on Tuesday by three senior defence figures.
The prime minister came under fire in separate interventions from his former defence secretary John Healey, the former defence minister Al Carns and the country’s current senior military officer, Rich Knighton.

There are some fixtures that need only the names of the teams to get us going and France v Senegal is one such, a meld of nostalgia, history and righteous indignation. “I think Senegal will win,” says Othmane Sonoko, former prime minister and speaker of the Senegalese parliament, “but in any case, whichever team wins, it is Africa that will have beaten Africa.”
The teams, of course, met in the World Cup 2002 opener, a game which featured one of the great centre-forward displays from El-Hadji Diouf and one of the great celebrations following Papa Bouba Diop’s goal, which secured one of the great shocks. Nor did things improve for France thereafter, eliminated bottom of the group with one point and no goals, the worst-ever performance from a defending champion. The teams have not met since.

Erg jammer dit voor de verworpenen der aarde. Het is klaar met het communistische heilstaat Oost-Groningen, de enige plek in Nederland waar Lenin en Marx ooit echt op een voetstuk stonden. Kameraad Engel Modderman stopt met het aanwakkeren van de revolutie vanuit de gemeenteraad van Oldambt en vertrekt naar Servië. Hij zat er sinds 1982, maar in die tijd hebben de Grunnegse arbeiders ook veel aan hem gehad. Modderman verzette zich tegen de komst van een nieuw dorp in heg Oldambtmeer, dat kwam er toch, Modderman verzette zich tegen een nieuw cultuurhuis in Winschoten, dat kwam er toch, maar de rode rakkers knokten daar wel een Hamer en sikkellaan in Nieuw-Beerta en een enorm beeld van Lenin op een bedrijventerrein in Tjuchem voor terug. Prestaties waar de successen van Che Guevara bij verbleken. Topgozer was dat trouwens. Na Esmah Lahlah nu dus weer een strijder die vertrekt naar een oord dat nog wel commie-vriendelijk is. De toekomst van de polderbolsjewieken rust nu volledig op de schouders van Bob van Left Laser.
