Continent 'at turning point' as PM pours billions into defence spending

The UK will spend an additional £75bn on defence over the next six years in an attempt to counter the rising threat from Russia, China and Iran.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said 2.5% of Britain's GDP would be spent on defence, putting the industry on a war footing.
Mr Sunak said the action was needed because authoritarian regimes were acting together to further their interests.

    ​@@rogermorris8737what nonsense. The closest we have been to war we will be is curently now. With yemen in the sea and even that was the UK fault for bombing yemen. If the uk dont get involved with stupid wars they will be fine because of nato and because uk is an island. But nope politics they need to find ways to start wars so they can find ways to steal money

    A war footing?😂 Russia is spending double digit amounts. We dont even spend 2% now, thanks to the nuclear deterrent coming out of the defence budget. Which also means we won't spend 2.5% either. Donkey's years from now, when inflation would have eroded spending further as well.

    2.5% by 2030... what's that.. .4% ? 75 billion so.. 10 billion a year.. that's.. what 20 planes including crews and bombs and support contracts.. Just wondering... doesn't feel like a strong ally. As for 'as soon as funds allow' ... all we do is spend money we don't have why would we ever have funds if not now. All feels like a weak half assed effort when the forces are so beaten down over the last 40 years.

    This is a very rare example when the Tory leader does something good to benefit the country and its allies. And to clarify to all little English xenophobes, we like Mr Sunak, and we do not have a problem with his skin having a different tone of colour. We judge people by their actions, not by their looks.
