Streeting pushes back against critics of defence boost
Britain must be ready for war in a 1000 days, the defence secretary Wes Streeting said this week. The German defence establishment says Russia could attack a NATO country by 2029. On Wednesday, as he presented his first budget, the Chancellor John Healey said he had plugged a 4.7 billion hole in the defence investment plan. How he'll pay for the rest, an estimated 11 billion pounds a year, has been put off till next year's spending review.
