    2% is quite a lot. 5% is madness. I hope that the costs of it start to become apparent to everyone and they reverse course well before they go that far.

      Roadways are defence infrastructure.

      Water is defence infrastructure.

      Power is defence infrastructure.

      Resilient rail is definitely defence infrastructure.

      It’s very easy to get that other 3% – and actually get sovereign rail from coast to coast to coast at the same time, which we’d never get if it wasn’t a defence project.

      I mean, not in relative terms, and in absolute terms 0.01% is still quite a lot of money but won’t defend anything.
