Great to be on BBC Politics South West at the weekend to discuss defence, growth and devolution.
There is strong cross-party consensus for increasing defence spending. However, as military personnel leave the Armed Forces more quickly than we can replace them, there are serious questions about how we can recruit the next generation of soldiers, sailors and airmen.
Labour's £70bn spending spree is being bankrolled by farmers, small business owners, and ordinary taxpayers and will ultimately stymie growth.
Incredibly complicated changes to devolution are coming down the track with the delivery of local services at stake.
Have a listen to hear my take on these important issues for South West Devon
