Great British PAC Demands Justice for Veterans as Reform Pledges to End Historic Prosecutions

Angus MacIntyre left the RAF as a wing commander on Friday. By Monday he was Reform UK's Armed Forces spokesman with a promise: legislation within 100 days of a Reform government taking office to end the historic prosecutions of British veterans, and his own resignation if that pledge is not honoured. With 150 SAS personnel drawn into the Afghanistan inquiry and Labour's Troubles Bill through the Commons, Britain's treatment of its own soldiers is now a live political battleground.

The Prime Minister says the Conservatives' £36 billion welfare savings plan would throw people "into crisis".

Great British PAC says taxpayers deserve numbers, not promises.

Great British PAC Challenges Labour Over IFS Warning of Worst Decade for Family Incomes on Record

Britain is heading for the worst decade of household income growth on record, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned, after John Healey's first Budget offered a £100 energy payment and a raft of small measures while deferring the big decisions on welfare, spending and growth. Business leaders called it a missed opportunity, the Resolution Foundation said support was badly targeted, and the Chancellor's account of his welfare pledge did not survive the day.

Great British PAC Questions Labour's £2bn Defence Budget Row as Treasury Takes Control of Armed Forces Pension Funding

Four months ago the Government promised the Ministry of Defence £73.8bn for 2027-28. John Healey's first Budget allocates £72.8bn. The missing £1bn a year corresponds to the Armed Forces pension funding no longer shown in the MoD's departmental allocation, now accounted for through a central Treasury arrangement. The Treasury insists no spending power has been lost. The Conservatives call it a stealth cut. Between those two claims sits a question the Government has not yet answered.
