Ex-NATO chief warns Britain’s security is in peril as defence plan stalls
Former NATO secretary-general Lord George Robertson warns Britain's security is 'in peril' and accuses non-military Treasury experts of 'vandalism' as the government delays the 10-year defence investment plan tied to the Strategic Defence Review; with more than £270bn promised, he argues the country is underprepared, underinsured and under threat, and says defence cannot be funded by an expanding welfare budget, while PM Keir Starmer says the plan is on his desk and being finalised.
