We believe the public do not need to know this information know while our enemies do.","additional_details":"On 7 June 2026 The Mail on Sunday reported: “Entire fleet of UK attack subs is unfit for war and stuck in dock.” Sunday Express states “Labour delays leave Britain weak’ at time of war” and on 6 June 2026 the Daily Mail reported that HMS Prince of Wales has “…broken down again” and the Daily Mirror reported that the £6.3 billion Ajax armoured vehicles are “…not fit for use” in combat. We think these reports undermine our national defence.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":10,"closing_date":"2027-01-03","created_at":"2026-06-07T13:45:17.171Z","updated_at":"2026-07-04T08:50:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-07-03T13:49:19.276Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-08T06:19:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Desmond J.
