Starmer in call to 'seize the defence dividend'

Western Mail

|

May 09, 2025

SIR Keir Starmer will warn of modern parallels with the Second World War, as he urges the UK to seize the “dividend” from his plans to raise defence spending.

The Prime Minister was also expected to announce a £563m contract for Rolls-Royce for the maintenance of Britain’s fleet of Typhoon fighter jets at a defence conference in London yesterday.

Ministers have been keen to stress the boost to jobs that plans to increase the UK’s defence spending to 2.5% of economic output by 2027 could provide.
