In a surprise move, the former Defence Secretary has taken to the House of Commons to reiterate his long-standing demand for increased defence spending. Despite stepping down from his post, the high-ranking official remains adamant that the UK's military requires a significant boost in funding to maintain its global influence and protect national security. His remarks come at a time of heightened tensions between major world powers, and many are watching to see if his successor will heed his warning and increase the defence budget. With the UK's military facing significant challenges, the debate over defence spending is set to continue.
The ex-defence secretary repeats his call for more funding in a Commons speech following his resignation.
