HMS Dragon – Britain’s only high-end destroyer in the Middle East region – has now spent two weeks at Souda Bay in Crete, 920 kilometres away. It arrived there after a short patrol of Cyprus…
Dragon’s operation has been marred by what the MoD said was a “minor technical issue” which led to its routing to port for a “routine logistics stop and a short maintenance period.” Experts say the freshwater system was likely not functioning properly. The MoD insists “the destroyer will remain at high readiness”…
Navy Lookout says crewmen are undergoing a “mix of defect repair, systems calibration and force preparation.“
Speaking at his speech on how to achieve “progressive capitalism” Wes Streeting fired a dig and Andy Burnham:
“Bond markets are not bond villains and fiscal rules matter.”
