NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The UK's defence spending has been a topic of discussion in recent years, with some arguing that the current level of funding is insufficient to meet the country's security needs. The goal of reaching 3 per cent of GDP on defence spending is a benchmark that has been referenced by various politicians and defence experts, although the current timeline for achieving this target remains unclear. The £15billion defence funding plan announced by Sir Keir Starmer is intended to address some of the funding gaps, but its specifics and implications are still being assessed.
