Sunak Goes on the Defensive
Today, we look at Rishi Sunak\u2019s promise to spend billions more on defence.
Sunak said UK military spending would rise to 2.5% of national income by 2030. The prime minister was in Poland to pledge \xa3500 million in extra support for Ukraine, but claimed the extra money for defence would put the UK\u2019s defence industry "on a war footing". Adam is joined by former armed forces minister, James Heappey MP.
