Do we value our armed forces enough?

Your calls on the MoD doubling the level of compensation offered to seriously wounded troops. Plus: Is Thatcher really up there with Churchill in the league of Great British PMs?

The Ministry of Defence is to double the level of compensation offered to the UK's most seriously wounded troops. Is that a fair return for laying your life on the line? And will it be enough to encourage people to stay in the army and attract new recruits?

Plus: Is Thatcher really up there with Churchill in the league of Great British Prime Ministers?

There's been much discussion this week about the possibility of Mrs Thatcher being given a state funeral. Such an honour would put her up there with Winston Churchill, the only other ex-Prime Minister to have been granted such an honour. But was Mrs Thatcher really in the same league?

Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
