Keir Starmer's defense spending plan faces criticism for being insufficient, with media and experts urging increased military funding amid claims of an imminent Russian threat. Outgoing Prime Minister Starmer added £15bn to the Defence Investment Plan, but figures like Hamish de Bretton-Gordon argue it fails to address critical needs, pressuring Andy Burnham to deliver more resources.
