The revelation raises the prospect of further damaging cuts in so-called unprotected departments that were also hit in the 2010s by the austerity policies pursued by successive Conservative-led governments. Reductions in day-to-day spending, which excludes capital investment, would leave departments that have already been squeezed hardest facing further pain. Those at risk include Local Government, Culture, Justice, the Home Office, Environment, Energy, and Work and Pensions.
If the USA isn’t responsible for what’s going on in Ukraine, then why is the UK?
Make it make sense.
The UK wasn’t responsible for France being invaded in WWII either. Yet, they helped push out the invader.
Because as many nations as feasible should take on the burden of stopping petty dictators from invading other countries.
That doesn’t make it make sense though.
edit: In case you weren’t aware, the UK has been doing what you’ve been suggesting since before the USA decided to support Ukraine.
