Not sure I've ever listened to a chancellorial speech so hard to work out what is happening. Rattling off huge number of figures making it look like big increases in spending on everything. Bear in mind current spending on average on all other than NHS not rising over SR period.

Northrop Grumman is the third-largest U.S. defense contractor makes unique weapons like the B-21 stealth bombers and silo-launched nuclear missiles. It is unfortunately another example of a dead player in defense contracting. Read the new Bismarck Analysis Brief! (link below)
