'economic security is national security' is music to my ears because it is the course of action over which we have most control and which can both fund and manufacture the tools required for achieving effective defence. The UK is potentially very well positioned to achieve economic security because it is very good at developing step change innovation which can be deployed to significantly improve productivity both within the UK and globally. The Government now needs to foster the animal spirit required to unlock this potential rather than dampen it (as it has done thus far).
Although you are right that Keir's approach is currently popular, we are not actually at war with Russia, and they are not at all a military threat, this is mostly just WW2 cosplaying. I accept that the public wants to prolong the war in Ukraine, and that the Ukrainians seem to want this as well, personally I would like to see a ceasefire as soon as possible (which makes me pro Putin to the press).
