“This is a seismic change in our public spending pattern.” Whilst we were able to spend more on welfare “in happier times”, the fact that Russia could attack Nato by 2030 means a “painful adjustment” is required in public spending to funnel more money to defence, says former Commander of the Joint Forces Command General Sir Richard Barrons. General Sir Richard Barrons was speaking to Kait Borsay on The Evening Edition on Times Radio. Listen live from 7pm to 10pm, Monday to Thursday.
