UK Not ‘Rising To The Challenge’ With Defence Investment Plan | Former Head of British Army

“The tragedy is it’s taken the resignation of John Healey and Al Carns to finally get the prime minister to wake up.” Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to increase defence spending to 4.2 per cent of GDP is “too little, too late”, as the evolution of warfare outpaces our ability to defend ourselves, says former head of the British Army Lord Dannatt.
