Govt: Defence spending boost needed in these dangerous times
The Armed Forces minister says the £2.2bn increase in defence spending is necessary in "these more insecure and dangerous times".
Luke Pollard adds the money will be put towards "more advanced weaponry, directed energy weapons, more business going directly to UK firms and improving defence housing".

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace.
