As the nature of warfare changes every day on the battlefields of Ukraine, the Strategic Defence Review will map out a new era for UK defence — with a return to warfighting readiness and a Nato-first approach.
Let’s not forget that the last Conservative government cut defence spending by a fifth in their first term, left troop morale at record lows, and wasted billions as they mismanaged major procurement programmes.
To face this, and deliver a stronger, safer Britain, we are backing our brave Armed Forces after years of hollowing out under the last Conservative government.
We will ensure the benefits of this historic boost to defence spending will be felt by working people across every nation and region of Britain.
And we will meet that threat with a decisive boost to our brave Armed Forces — to make Britain stronger, safer and more secure.
