"UK Defence Spending Under Fire: Former Defence Secretary Warns of Security Risks. In a stark warning, former Defence Secretary John Healey has slammed the UK's defence budget, claiming that the country's enemies are not bound by the same fiscal constraints as the Treasury. Healey's comments come as the UK government faces growing pressure to increase defence spending, with critics arguing that the current levels are insufficient to meet the country's security needs. With the global security landscape increasingly volatile, Healey's warning raises questions about the UK's preparedness to face emerging threats."
It comes as ex-defence secretary John Healey says the UK's enemies "do not follow timetables set by the Treasury".
