Can someone explain why we have to spend so much money on defence? The Tory manifesto promises £160 billion additional investment in "new military equipment" in the next 10 years - would it be disastrous for UK security if that was reduced by say £20 billion and they doubled their £8 billion investment in the NHS and didn't cut £12 billion from the welfare budget?
Also £15 billion investment in roads vs £200 million in cycling infrastructure seems a bit unfair...
