Can we please get some conservatives in government?

From Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr George Osbourne regarding the Trident replacement:
All budgets have pressure. I don't think there's anything particularly unique about the Ministry of Defence.
Mr Osbourne owes me a new keyboard and monitor that are now strewn with cheap Chardonnay. How the blazes a man can occupy No. 11 without knowing that defence of the the realm is THE central purpose of government and takes precedent over all others never fails to astonish me.

Update: Dr Liam Fox wades in.

Update: A modest proposal.

In future, the nation will be defended by a crack team of benefits specialists who will explain the superiority of Britain's social programmes, thus causing any aggressor to hang his head in shame and retreat. I think.
