It's the RAF that has an existential threat nowadays, the RN will expand again under any likely future scenario without JC as PM.
Funnily enough that was the topic of conversation today when I met some fellows down the road. My MP - Simon Hart - has a majority of just over 3k, next door there is a Plaid seat with a majority of nearly 4k. But, on the other side is the Preseli seat which Mr Crabb holds with only a ~300 majority, two of the lads vote there and voted Labour last time, not thinking that JC could come close to winning a majority in the Commons. They won't vote Tory, but they won't vote Labour again, probably Plaid or nothing.
The Yanks use that for most things, over here it's naval.

Letter from today's The Times
LIFE AFTER BREXIT
Sir, The prime minister said in a televised interview last week that his Brexit deal will deliver “all singing, all dancing, free-trade deals for this country”. This is not the first time this egregious oxymoron has been repeated by politicians. After Brexit the British government will negotiate with countries to arrange reciprocal trade deals. These are not “free”. Each side will sacrifice some domestic interests to gain a perceived advantage in a foreign trade sector. Note how anxious US Big Pharma is to increase drug prices charged to the NHS. It is these hard-headed negotiations that also mean these deals take many years to complete.

Remind you of anyone?
Brexiters are increasingly reminding me of children whose father has told them that Father Christmas is real. Every year they sit beside the fireplace hoping to see Santa come down the chimney and every year they are disappointed. In an effort to stop their disappointment their father puts on a Santa suit and pretends to be Father Christmas. Every year Brexiters wait patiently for Brexit and every year they are disappointed. Every year in an effort to stop their disappointment politicians dress remain up as a Brexit deal and pretend it is Brexit.

People keep talking about democracy. It’s about time they faced up to the fact that democracy has already failed. The UK is stuck in a three year time warp in the hope that their belief in democracy is not unfounded. In the meantime the will of the people has changed so if Brexit is eventually achieved it will not be the will of the people.

Bloody hell! You far-lefties really have no sense of humour...
Utter crap, those who lost the referendum have failed democracy.
Edit: Should have written it's those who lost the referendum and won't accept it that have failed democracy.

Typical Brexit whinging. It’s always someone else’s fault. No matter that those charlatans Farage and his clueless sidekick, Johnson, had no interest in solving the practical problems, it’s the remoaner’s fault. I really wonder if you lot can wipe your own backsides.
