Tory defence cuts 'outrageous' - says Tory defence spokesman
Nicholas Soames, the Tories' defence spokesman has reportedly called his own party's policy of defence cuts 'outrageous'. In other news Gordon Brown is today's expected to announce a real terms increase in defence spending.It's important that Michael Howard and Oliver Letwin, who clearly represent the future of the Tory party, do not cave in to Nicholas Soames, who barely even represents the past. Cutting government spending, particularly in an area where it is know much of it is wasted, is sound Tory policy.
