Keir Starmer Announces £15bn Defence Spending Boost, Funded by Cuts to Other Projects
Keir Starmer announced a £15bn defence investment plan, increasing spending to 2.7% of GDP by 2030, funded by diverting money from energy, transport, and housing projects. He warned his successor, likely Andy Burnham, against borrowing more for defence, despite calls for higher spending from former Defence Secretary John Healey and military chiefs.
