PM coy over tax hike for defence spending

June 11, 2026

|

Birmingham Mail

PRIME Minister Sir Keir Starmer has refused to rule out tax hikes to fund defence spending.

He was pressed by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch at Prime Minister's Questions on whether taxpayers should expect an increase, but declined to respond directly.

The Government's defence investment plan is due to be published ahead of the Nato summit in Turkey, which begins on July 7. It was originally slated for publication last autumn but has been repeatedly delayed.

In the Commons, Mrs Badenoch said: "There is still no defence investment plan.

"He is the Prime Minister, and the reason that he's dithering is because he doesn't know where the money is coming from.
