Rishi Sunak's £75bn defence announcement under scrutiny

11 днів тому

A think tank has warned any future government would have to find £8bn of cuts to fund the government's planned increase in defence spending.
Rishi Sunak announced on Tuesday he was pledging to increase spending by £75bn by 2030 to put Britain on a "war footing" against threats from China and Russia.
However, the Institute for Fiscal Studies warned the pledge would mean cuts to public services while Labour branded it a pre-election "gimmick".

Please. 2.5% of GDP defense spending is not a "war footing" as Rishi proclaims. If the UK were serious, it would follow the Polish example and set out a plan to restore defense spending to Cold War levels i.e. 4% of GDP

@connorlomax1269 9 днів тому

He needs to pack it in making these enormous policy announcements and pledging decades of money and work into things. He was never elected and he’ll literally be out on his arse in a few months. He’s up there with the worst PMs in British history.

UK spending a total of 75Bn on own defense. How is that enough? That is the amount that USA is giving away to Ukraine just to help defend Ukraine in a war. And it is not nearly enough for Ukraine to survive war. If UK wants to be prepared to defend itself in looming war, we better take it serious.

We are a collapsing country. Every aspect that involves government spending is either broken or on its knees. The tax payer is penniless.

He obviously hasn't used the NHS recently or paid his mortgage. The people who paid their taxes are in dire need to stay afloat. Why save people in foreign countries when people and livelihood are perishing at home?
