    I don’t want to sell jets to Turkey and I don’t want to call them Türkiye.

    400,000 extra “clean energy” jobs by 2030 – 18th Oct.

    15,000 of those “clean energy” jobs in Wales – 23rd Oct.

    7,000 extra jobs from the PM’s visit to India – 8th Oct.
    200 of those in Wales – 9th Oct.

    10,600 jobs secured from PM’s India trip – 9th Oct.

    1,000 jobs from the Regional Investment Summit – 21st Oct.

    20,000 jobs secured through Turkey buying 20 Typhoon jets – 27th Oct.

    3,900 Welsh jobs secured through defense investment – 27th Oct.

    Astonishing number of jobs secured/created in just the last couple of weeks announced from Labour.

  3. This also secures the future of the factories and skill base while we are in the intermediate period before Tempest enters full scale production.

  4. The irony with how ‘our’ purchase of the platform worked out is the Typhoon platform has the potential to be on par with the latest block F-16s. Second only to probably the F-15EX as ‘the’ premier 4.5 generation fighter.

  5. Good news, a strong military manufacturing industry is important (and we’re good at it!) especially with the way the world is going.

    Curious as to why it wasn’t 40 jets as initially reported on by a lot of media sources

    So… we good with Erdogan now? They got kicked out the F35 program previously because Turkey bought Russian SAMs so we just saying the world has changed?
