At PMQs Starmer said we had supplied Saudi Arabia with £1.5 billion of armaments in just one month, so you could be right BT, maybe they could take out the entire Middle East. What I would have liked Starmer to have been asked, seeing as he's so well informed is,

1) How many ordinary working class people in this country would be put out of work, if we stopped supplying arms to Saudi Arabia, as at £1.5 billion a month the number made unemployed would not be inconsiderable.

2) As thousands of workers are put out of work in this country, which countries workers do you think would benefit from replacing the UK as arms suppliers to Saudi Arabia, because they would most certainly source them from elsewhere.

3) What do you say to those workers now without a job, how do you justify putting them in that situation, when it makes no difference to Saudi Arabia, who are now getting their arms from somewhere else ?

Sir Keir can't answer because no one has asked him, perhaps you could answer for him BT, I'm sure the pair of you sing from the same hymn sheet on this topic.
