TheChangeIsCast Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Good news. Defence and nuclear are booming in terms of jobs already, some great rates on offer, and outside IR35 roles also popping up again to attract resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlooker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 2 minutes ago, Huggy said: Weren't the French going to build these? You must have missed the big news about 6 months ago. The Australians decided that, to counter the Chinese threat, they needed subs with a much longer range. That way they could link up with the USA and UK in provided a strong sub network (I guess that is how it might be called). The French diesel subs were more nearshore boats I think. The French were mighty pissed off. However, yesterday in the press there was an article about Biden causing trouble in cascading older US subs to Australia, and this was take to be quite worrying for the deal.

In 2020 the UK was the worlds second biggest arms exporter. Since then France has overtaken the UK and Russia to claim second place, while the UK has slipped below Germany, China and Italy to claim 7th spot. Europe’s arms imports nearly double, France overtakes Russia as world’s second-largest exporter | Euronews In the past three years. In Italy, arms exports grew by 86%, while the UK's slipped by 14%. Perhaps that's what counts as sucess in post Brexit Huggyland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rising tide raises all ships - ie we may have a reduced share whilst still increasing export sales? * Perhaps not a great expression to use when talking about subs?

So this will boost the economy in the 2040's 🤣. Doesn't stop the 2024 recession. Edited March 21 by fellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
