In an unauthorised interview to say that he would resign if there were no increase in defence spending, Al Carns has just been on Sky News, daring Keir Starmer to sack him. Have we ever seen the like?
When the position of Secretary of State for Defence cannot be filled, then the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Armed Forces is unsackable. Even though he is only a fresher.
Starmer could not possibly still contest a Leadership Election. That would leave a vacancy for a candidate like, oh, John Healey? Who would then need a Defence Secretary such as, oh, Al Carns?
