Published: 12/17/2025

The Conservatives propose cutting green spending to boost defense budget, aiming for UK war readiness. The party plans to reallocate £17bn to invest in the military, with a new Sovereign Defence Fund potentially mobilizing £50bn. Labour criticizes the move, while the government aims to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 and 3.5% by 2035.
