Back to EpisodesUK Defence Review: Too Little, Too Late?
Description
The UKs defence forces face a critical shortfall, with a twenty-eight billion pound gap over the next four years. The army is struggling to maintain its capabilities, with troop numbers down, equipment aging, and vulnerability to long-range missiles increasing. Despite Labours pledge to rebuild the forces, progress is slow, with spending only now crawling back to 2010 levels. The UK has slid from fourth to fourteenth biggest spender in NATO, raising questions about its ability to stand on its own amidst growing threats from Russia, Iran, and China, and a potentially shifting US-UK relationship.
