Starmer warned to boost defence spending or be consigned to ‘bin of history’

“Unless Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves can find ways of producing more money, well beyond 2.5% towards 3% or 3.5% for starters on our defence budget, then this strategic defence review is going to be hollow, it’s going to be a failure and, frankly, it’ll consign Keir Starmer to the bin of history,” he said.
