  • RUSI/ Cranfield Speech at Shrivenham, Luff hits back at Jeremy Paxman, editors of national newspapers...”Yet whereas 90% success would be welcomed with open arms in the private sector, in the political world it is the 10% failure that the likes of Jeremy Paxman and the editors of national newspapers focus on.”

RUSI/ Cranfield Speech at Shrivenham

  • ...It is not because I have a particular view about the importance or otherwise of this capability, I leave that well-worn fight to others. It is because the MoD will have spent £4bn on this capability over the past 15 years and ended up with, nothing.
  • ...That is the worst indictment of the defence programme I can imagine. Just think of what capabilities we could have had for that money: imagine the number of aspects of defence that could have been improved. Or perhaps, don’t. To do so may be too disheartening.
  • It is the exemplar par excellence of what happens if the department lives beyond its means. Put simply, if you start more things than you can afford to finish, then sooner or later you are going to waste money by having to cancel some of those projects.
