UK lacks plan to defend itself from invasion, MPs warn

The UK lacks a plan to defend itself from military invasion, as warned by a committee of MPs. The Ministry of Defence plans to build six or more new munitions factories across the country to enhance war-fighting readiness. The government aims to create at least 1,000 new jobs by scaling up munitions production and strengthening the UK's defence capabilities independently of US resources. Defense Secretary John Healey will announce plans to restart the production of energetics and open new drone factories, emphasizing the goal of making defense an engine for growth and national security.
