This is quite concerning. NATOs Wedgetail (= AWACS replacement) programme has been afaics essentially killed by US withdrawal.
I'm not sure where this laves the UK.
NATO’s effort to replace its ageing E-3A Sentry fleet has been upended after the United States pulled out of the alliance’s planned purchase of up to six Boeing E-7 Wedgetails, leaving the programme without a strategic or financial anchor, the UK Defence Journal understands.
The Dutch Ministry of Defence confirmed that Washington withdrew from the AWACS replacement effort in July, prompting the Netherlands and several European partners to abandon the joint plan.

You need to add equal cycling and especially pedestrian services to that. After all, every journey, for everyone, starts as a pedestrian. (View Post)2 -

As I see it, delivering actual levelling up would be Mr Starmer's trump card. If his Govt helps it to happen, and enough results can be seen within one term. (View Post)3
