Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the most significant increase in UK defence spending since the Cold War, vowing to allocate 2.6% of GDP to defence by 2026 and 3% within the next decade. To fund this commitment, Starmer revealed that billions would be cut from the overseas aid budget.
Addressing the Commons, the Prime Minister declared, “We must find courage in our history, courage in who we are as a nation because courage is what our own era now demands of us.”
