| Secret report reveals Labour is failing troops |
| 2009-08-23 |
| A devastating official report suppressed by ministers has revealed that soldiers' lives are being put at risk by "endemic" failures at the Ministry of Defence (MoD). The secret dossier blames "political fudge" and Whitehall incompetence for the plight of soldiers in Afghanistan who are provided with inadequate frontline kit. The 296-page report, leaked to The Sunday Times, claims the scale of MoD bungling is so severe it "is harming our ability . . . to conduct difficult current operations". The publication of the document will be a severe embarrassment for Gordon Brown, who has insisted that the armed forces always receive the equipment they need. A vision of things to come after four years of a donk dominated DOD. |
