Gavin Grey: UK correspondent on the UK Government boosting defence spending
from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB
Over in the UK, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has outlined the nation's UK's long-delayed plan to invest in defence. In one of his final acts as Prime Minister, Starmer announced an additional £15bn will be spent on funding the armed forces, but analysts say he's left his successor with the unpopular task of finding almost £5bn to fund this. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says this is a 'significant' financial black hole - and it's likely more details will be unveiled at the next Budget.
