Carns Rejects Cabinet Return Over Defense Funding | UK News

Published 5 days, 2 hours ago
Description

Al Carns, former Armed Forces minister, has rejected a new government role, insisting defense funding remains unresolved — even after being offered a position in another department. He believes accepting a job now would wrongly suggest the issue is settled, and instead plans to keep pushing for proper military spending from the backbenches. Carns also sees John Healey’s return as Chancellor as a positive sign, trusting Healey will honor the commitments that led to their earlier resignations. Meanwhile, a wave of departures is sweeping through the cabinet: Natalie Fleet, Mike Tapp, Mary Creagh, and Olivia Bailey are all stepping down, signaling a major reshuffle under the new Prime Minister.
