Ladies and gentlemen, the hour has come. After an interminable four-week general election campaign, mercifully spirited by the 100% proof charisma of Nigel Farage and the increasingly erratic behaviour of Sir Ed Davey (whose suicidal attempts to relieve himself of the Liberal Democrat leadership have been cruelly mistaken for bungee jumps), we have arrived at

Following on from his initial manifesto post, Alastair MacMillan moves on to defence.
