Brits Want More Defense Spending
Description
Britons overwhelmingly want more defense spending—56% say yes, even some Green voters—despite a £28 billion shortfall looming. Public backing favors taxing top earners or cutting unemployment benefits, not raising taxes broadly, freezing pensions, or slashing the NHS. Meanwhile, NATO frets a delayed defense plan could derail a July summit, as global tensions rise and the government pledges long-term boosts—creating a tough balancing act between national security and domestic priorities.
