Why Rishi Sunak is increasing defence spending with UK on 'war footing'
Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030
  • Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

  • Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

  • The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

  • Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.
