Our 2nd to last fringe of a very busy conference season - and a queue stretching through the ICC in Birmingham for #CPC26 @Conservatives. After 70+ fringes across 5 party conferences this year, Total Politics has truly been the Total Conference Partner. partyconference.co.uk/conser…

The lesson of Ukraine is clear, says @jcartlidgemp: defence planning cannot take years when the threats are near-term. A packed room with lively Q+A as @wallaceme discussed priorities & challenges for UK defence with the Shadow Secretary of State. With @BAESystemsplc at #CPC26

When asked by @wallaceme about deterrence, @jcartlidgemp stressed it requires more than equipment on paper. The UK needs an 'always on' defence production model, with certainty for industry so capacity can grow & surge when needed. With @BAESystemsplc. @Conservatives #CPC26
