If you needed an extra reason for employing former military personnel, how about the National Insurance Relief scheme, where employers aren’t required to pay the company’s National Insurance contribution for the first twelve months. To find out more, click here: https://lnkd.in/ecmysrVP

Two key points of the following article: 1. The Royal Navy does not have enough sailors to send a 3 billion-pound aircraft carrier to the Red Sea. 2. According to experts, as long as salaries are low, this is the situation and no one is willing to work in the Royal Navy. Conclusion: In my opinion, as a person living in the Middle East, this is very good news. But probably the British government is looking for an excuse for not cooperating with US. Europe has paid a lot of money for the war in Ukraine, and all this money has gone into the pockets of a few American companies. England wants a bigger share. https://lnkd.in/dGCXWhVC

This government and Shapps are both utterly incompetent in this latest move. Why on earth would anyone cut these assault craft 10 years before time and give us zero amphibious capability. When you listen to the people in charge they are warning us what will happen, but then you ignore them? We need to support our marines and troops 100% and make sure the are protected so they can protect us. #defence #marines #navy https://lnkd.in/e-xQdx9G

Whilst I rarely have sympathy with much appearing in the pages of 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑇𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ, on this occasion 𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗹𝘆 with this editorial. The parlous state of the UK's armed forces is an absolute farce! This is especially true of the Royal Navy, with c.£8 billion of taxpayers money having previously been spent on two new aircraft carriers which - at a time of growing hostilities in the Middle East and a genuine threat to international shipping, a threat the Navy is specifically mandated to counter - find themselves docked in Portsmouth Harbour. This follows 14 years of Conservative cuts in general, and to national defence in particular, which have left our aircraft carriers - HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales - short not only of the personnel and fighter jets to actually project the serious military force their designed to, but also of the support ships these giant beasts need for proper protection when deployed (especially in an area like the Red Sea where a number of armed militias have access to increasingly sophisticated anti-ship munitions). Ultimately, the Royal Navy currently lacks both the sailors and the hardware to deploy a full carrier group in the way the United States is able to (with destroyers and frigates protecting the aircraft carrier). If the Conservative Government is (or, indeed, ever was) serious about 'Global Britain', they could start by properly investing in the defence of the realm. And I very much hope that both Labour and my own Liberal Democrats will seriously commit to bringing our United Kingdom's armed force capabilities back up to pre-2010 levels (especially given that, if Donald Trump is re-elected to the US Presidency, he may well withdraw the United States from NATO - leaving Britain and the rest of Europe without the security umbrella we've now enjoyed for over 70 years!) https://lnkd.in/dCkhviJZ #defence #navy #ukgovernment #ukpolitics #armedforces
Britain has been left practically defenceless

📄𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 by Wannes Verstraete and Michelle Haas "No Time to Waste in Rebuilding the Belgian Armed Forces" EGMONT - Royal Institute for International Relations * A review of the current defence strategy seems inevitable. The enforced plan must be ambitious and recognise the urgency emanating from the international security environment * Belgium must accelerate its increase in defence spending to reach the 2% norm, at the latest by the end of the new legislature in 2029 * Staffing remains one of the biggest challenges.

In my latest op-ed👇for the The Australian Financial Review I discuss the necessity for Defence Australia to be present and engaged in the defence debate at all levels. Now more than ever it is important to have an informed defence debate that brings the public along the journey. The levels of censorship in Defence personnel engaging in the debate means that our greatest defence minds are held back from contributing on the role of Defence, what it does and why it’s important. Points that the Australian public need to be clear on if they are to support increased funding levels and encourage their children to join.

Why is Defence so little involved in the great defence debate?

Useful pieces of advice if you are out & about walking the great British countryside!
October half term is in full swing for most of the UK, which means many families will be out and about exploring the beautiful British countryside. 🍂🎊 From Lulworth to Salisbury Plain, the Scottish Highlands to Castlemartin, the Ministry of Defence are custodians of some of the most dramatic landscapes and coastlines in the UK. Much of this land is accessible to the public, but the spaces are used for essential military training. The MOD encourage you to discover the beautiful and varied expanses that we are proud to steward and maintain, however it’s important that you only access the land when and where it is safe to do so. These are the main things you need to remember when out and about this week: - Always check armed forces training times before visiting ⏰ - Pay attention to signage, information displays and red flags 🚩 - Stick to public footpaths and bridleways 🚶 - Do not touch any military debris – report its location for safe disposal ❌ Find out more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eard4Zyn
