Starmer confirms defence plan
Derby Telegraph
|June 30, 2026
A LONG-DELAYED plan for future-proofing the armed forces will keep Britain “safe and secure long into the future” Sir Keir Starmer said, as he announced it will be published today.
-
The Government's Defence Investment Plan (Dip), originally due last year, has been held back amid wrangling within the Government over the amount of money required to finance the military.
Former Defence Secretary John Healey quit in protest over it, as he did not believe the Dip provided enough funding for the UK to transform its armed forces and meet future threats. He also warned that the plan would likely fall short of Britain's commitments to the Nato alliance, which has tasked all member states with hiking core defence spending to 3.5% of national economic output by 2035.
Under the stewardship of new Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis, the Dip will now focus on ramping up the UK’s use of drones and autonomous weapons, funded by a £5 billion investment, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced.
