Will Starmer's military review match the threats we're told we face?
Published: 5/31/2025

Amid concerns of evolving security threats, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to unveil a major military review on Monday. The review is expected to emphasize the importance of nuclear weapons, modernizing the armed forces, and enhancing national resilience against cyber attacks. While the government aims for a transformative shift towards NATO and increased defense spending, critics remain skeptical about the review's potential impact. As global security challenges intensify, the government faces political and financial constraints in meeting allies' calls for higher defense spending targets.
