PM announces £15bn defence investment plan

Warmongers 😅

I have a suggestion with Defence funding.
Total budget for the 2026 is £1.5 Trillion
Ringfence 5% To The Defence of the Realm and that will be at £95 Billion.
As the economy improves the Defence budget at 5% will automatically increase.
The Type 45 Destroyer needs to be a ship manned replacement (Type 83) because drones/Hybrid navy will not work because of technology as failures and can not be fixed.

I suggest to Sky news should ask or suggest that the finical budget suggestion to the New PM Andy Burham.
With Regards.

If countries are going to spend increasingly more money on defence, they also need to address the mega wealthy tax issue. There is only so much money in the pot and taking more for defence will impact on services like health unless the billionaires and huge corporations pay their fair share of tax.

Wow ! Sounds like Ukraine are going to get more manufactured weapons ! Im sick of Stamer and his deluded stories !

The Royal Navy that defwnds our islands is beimg gutted to fund a drone force to defend the Eastern borders of the EU.

Starmer the fallen pm will be soon living in the country side

Borrow it. Let Fleet Street oppose it. Everyone wins.

Not enough.

Thank God keir starmer got thrown under the bus . Never liked the guy

Drones will not shoot down missiles nor deter any invasion…

Bunch of buffoons

In comparison to the US’ defense budget of 900 billion.

We are not getting our naval ships back in service & pivoting to the rule of thirds
Basically announced all service personnel are going issued another uniform

Without our armed forces; we’d be speaking German right now. So they should be a top priority regardless of what party is in power

I am war ready ,and i will fight every labour m.p. this government must be defeated ans i am prepared to see this through

Coming up with the term "securenomics" requires the lack of creativity and self awareness only a far right politician could have

Only losers join the military to die for the whims of malicious far right politicians, zero sympathy, the UK needs less defense funding not more, if it can't even get basic human rights correct then there's not a real country worth protecting

Mosque set on fire in Ireland
..anyone surprised. Nevermind the migrant protests going on in France right now.

Very good

I think of equal importance is the education the people need in what National Resilience actually means. Its more than the Forces, its about civil defence, voluntary organisations capable of helping on a simple caring level. The frontline states get that.. we do not and have forgotten..

Safer from what. Stop meddling in bloody foreign wars. It's not rocket science. Helped Israel kill thousands of babies and helped Ukraine where it was none of our concern

Cue- Reform bot farms from Nigeria

What planet is this guy on

It's all about legacy now Stamer wanted to be Andy To the punch !

Starmer has broken the basic rule again: press first, Parliament second.

This should have been set out properly to the House, not managed through a factory speech and media questions before MPs had the chance to scrutinise it.

And it is not really a plan.

He admits capital projects on roads and energy will be stopped or delayed to fund it. He admits defence only reaches 2.7% of GDP, with 3% pushed into the next Parliament. He talks about 5% wider security, but says this only reaches 4.2%.

So Britain gets fewer capital projects, no firm 3% timetable, no real 5% security settlement, and a drone-heavy announcement dressed up as strategy.

Trump will see straight through this at NATO. A lame-duck Prime Minister with a Treasury-shaped defence plan is not a serious long-term partner.

This is not national security planning. It is managed decline before the cameras.

I absolutely loath this guy. Good riddance.

Stamer worst PM ever; he wanted to give away the Chagos Islands and the British taxpayers to pay between 30 to 90 billion depending on inflation. Traitor.

I demand an investigation about the failed fiasco's full cost, lawyers' fees, charges, expenses, reports, advice, etc. I also demand a change in the law so that this situation is not repeated and involved politicians are held in contempt and investigated as traitors or enemies of the state. THIS IS SERIOUS.

This guy is destroying our military

We cant get people back into jobs, solve homelessness, solve benefit street… but we are amazing at spending money. Defense needs to be done….but they need to solve the money for buying stuff

'they got money for war but can't feed the poor'

This man is completely deluded… 😂😂

Where does all this money come from?
