PM announces aid budget cut to boost defence spending

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announces that defence spending will increase to 2.5% of gross domestic product by 2027.

To accomodate for this, Starmer says the foreign aid budget will be cut from 0.5% of gross national income to 0.3% by 2027; a change he says he is "not happy to make".
