The government is taking another look at its defence investment plan, The Independent understands, after John Healey dramatically resigned earlier this week, accusing the prime minister of being “unwilling to commit the resources” needed to keep Britain safe.
It came after cabinet minister Lisa Nandy suggested that more money would be allocated for defence, saying she did not believe Mr Healey’s replacement Dan Jarvis “would have taken the job were he not confident that we could meet the moment”.
