This may turn out to be vaguely coincidental, but the interest of both Putin and Trump will have been piqued.

And it reveals one of the key quirks of British democracy, as when we go to the polls in roughly half-decade cycles, this particular matter is rarely at the very forefront of the election chatter, for we are then in the process of electing our local representatives and the composition of Parliament and only on a somewhat secondary level our national leader — yet we do somehow all retain the notion that an essential part of his or her job description is protecting us from the threats that the Defence budget is expected to address.

Andy Burnham will become PM two days before England win the World Cup.
