Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK military is moving to "war-fighting readiness" as he unveils the government's defence spending plans Speaking in Glasgow, he also says the government will "innovate and accelerate innovation at a war-time pace" Earlier, Starmer said the UK must prepare for conflict, in order to deter conflict - and the threat from Russia cannot be ignored But the PM declined to set a precise date for when UK defence spending would hit 3% of GDP - our political editor Chris Mason says hitting this target won't be easy The UK has already committed to increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027
All of this is unnecessary and hysterical war mania. Dead and dying empires lashing out

Excerpt from Stuff news report on govt defence spending this afternoon: The Defence Force also released its strategic defence policy, which sets out that New Zealand will โact early and deliberately in pursuing and protecting our defence interestsโ. Enhancing the ANZUS alliance, a 1951 security treaty signed between Australia, New Zealand and the US, is also a key pillar of defenceโs policy objective, alongside more closely partnering with Australia as well as the โwider Five Eyes partnershipโ - which includes Canada, the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand.
Seriously, get fucked with this war-mongering shit

We shouldn't be spending more than our NATO commitment on warmongering.

There is no governance or accountability with Open Licences for Weapons Trade.
Britain is a Warmonger
The UK should be cutting back on defence (or warmongering to give it its proper name), not increasing while increasing taxes and reducing help for OAPs

This story just gets worse by the day. Being allowed to engage in โPlottingโ (i.e. planning) disruptive, but peaceful, protest is surely a precondition of a functional liberal democracy. Where are the human rights lawyers when you need themโฆoh, hang onโฆ www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...
