rather what timeframe over which they agree with him and would increase defence spending. that is basically your programme this morning boil down. and that was a disagreement is perhaps too strong but that was a difference in emphasis between the military people at the top of government and politicians at the top of government before tuesday and before the election of donald trump. clearly, that difference in approach to how fast to increase defence spending has taken on a massively increased significance in whitehall and westminster after donald trump's victory because we know that donald trump at the very, very least believes that europe and the uk is part of that in his construction, should share more of the burden, shoulder more of the burden, shoulder more of the burden, shoulder more of the burden of defending europe and we know that he will aim to pursue policies in that

direction. this is clearly something the government will have to think about are fresh. darrenjones have to think about are fresh. darren jones the have to think about are fresh. darrenjones the chief secretary to the treasury on your programme this morning, his mission was not to commit news on it basically, committing using either direction either by pleasing him or disappointing him. they will have to make a call fairly fast. i will have to make a call fairly fast. ., ., ~' will have to make a call fairly fast. ., ., ,, , ., fast. i do not think it is that comfortable _ fast. i do not think it is that comfortable for _ fast. i do not think it is that comfortable for the - fast. i do not think it is that - comfortable for the government to have a head at the military saying that diplomatically, and very plainly, spending on the military has to go up. clearly he believes it is imperative that clearly he believes it is pretty urgent. for the government notjust do not commit to any going to do it precisely that not even to guarantee they will do it in the next five years at all, which is a manifesto promise. it was deeply uncomfortable for darrenjones. at one point he put the quote from the french

president to him about the world being divided into carnivals, omnivores and herbivores. ifelt carnivals, omnivores and herbivores. i felt you were the carnival and he was the herbivore.— carnival and he was the herbivore. ,., ., herbivore. he said i tried to be a beacon _ herbivore. he said i tried to be a beacon in _ herbivore. he said i tried to be a beacon in response - herbivore. he said i tried to be a beacon in response to | herbivore. he said i tried to i be a beacon in response to the question. it be a beacon in response to the cuestion. . , be a beacon in response to the cuestion. .,, _, ., ., , question. it was uncomfortable. i looked back _ question. it was uncomfortable. i looked back at _ question. it was uncomfortable. i looked back at the _ question. it was uncomfortable. i looked back at the manifesto l i looked back at the manifesto commitment saying, what was this precise commitment in the manifesto? it did say labour will conduct a strategic defence review within our first yearin defence review within our first year in government and we will out the path to spending. when you make a manifesto commitment, you generally assume the public expects that to be fulfilled within your first term of government. you don't presume you will win any more terms beyond that. it doesn't explicitly say that in fairness to them, it says we will set out the path towards

that. there was no path today, no sign of what the path would be. they are waiting for this big moment of notjust the strategic defence review but the big spending review as well. , . �* well. they are. a new government - well. they are. a new government has - well. they are. a new| government has every well. they are. a new - government has every right to look at the priorities they are spending money on. we all know money is tight but that there is some frustration in defence circles and suggestions from a lot of people as we were talking about yesterday that not to spend more now may prove to be a false economy, if you like, and that the reviews, important though they are putting in some delays on a system that really has to be long—term. let's have a listen to how he diplomatically was implying he wants more passion. actually it was pretty clear, i don't think he was implying at all. this is how darrenjones was fending off the demand he give us a date for when the

government will put it out. i don't think it will be a surprise to the chancellor, the prime minister and the defence secretary that the chief of defence staff would always want more money for defence. what i could say to the chief secretary is that we want to really invest in the mechanism that that meant has got to address these issues. that is a defence review alongside a spending review and the crucial thing for people like me and the other chiefs is that we get things into balance. the ambition of the nation and the prime minister against the resources to match that ambition. it resources to match that ambition.— resources to match that ambition. , , ., ambition. it is 2.596 enough? that is for— ambition. it is 2.596 enough? that is for the _ ambition. it is 2.596 enough? that is for the and _ ambition. it is 2.596 enough? that is for the and to - ambition. it is 2.596 enough? that is for the and to do - ambition. it is 2.596 enough? that is for the and to do that| that is for the and to do that in a much more significant way than the usual ding—dong with every year, and to do that in a much more significant way than the usual ding—dong with every year, how much money have we got? we want a longer term stability and longer—term clarity. i stability and longer-term clari . ., ., ., .,
