Another unforced error leading to another u-turn.
As well as the lack of serious policypre-election which has led to u-turns, it's now the bunker mentality in No.10 too causing these mistakes and u-turns

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.

The Swiss government rejected Palantir because of its close ties to the US Government, security serviced and military.
It's an invitation to be spied upon, manipulated and blackmailed.
