Should Starmer publish the Defence Investment Plan immediately?
The UK's Defence Investment Plan outlines military spending over the next decade, following the government's acceptance of the Strategic Defence Review's recommendations for increased funding amid threats from Russia, China, and Iran. Nearly a year late, the document remains unpublished due to reported disagreements between No. 10, the Treasury, and the Ministry of Defence over a multi-billion-pound funding gap. Delays risk stalling defence projects, driving investment abroad, and drawing criticism from review authors like Lord George Robertson for government complacency.
