'Battle-ready, armour-clad' UK promised in new funding
The Gazette
|June 03, 2025
THE UK will move to “war-fighting readiness”, Sir Keir Starmer said as questions remained about his plans to increase defence spending.
-
The Prime Minister said he was “100% confident” the plans in the plans.
The Government will increase defence spending to 2.5% of gross domestic product from April 2027 with an ambition - but no firm commitment to increase it to 3% during the next parliament.
The Prime Minister said all parts of society needed to be involved in dealing with an increasingly dangerous world.
He said the plan would create “a battle-ready, armour-clad nation with the strongest alliances, and the most advanced capabilities, equipped for the decades to come”.
