BREAKING: We are increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP, rising by £75bn over the next 6 years.
With the world becoming more dangerous we can’t afford not to act. That’s why we’ll invest unprecedented amounts to give our Armed Forces a strategic advantage against any aggressor.
Not only will this record investment keep Britain safe, it will also guarantee our long term support for Ukraine to help defeat Putin.
This historic uplift will also empower continued investments in conventional forces from attack submarines to jets.
These capabilities and a new National Defence & Resilience Plan, will leave our enemies in no doubt about the strength of UK defence.
