The United Kingdom is actively reassessing its national defense strategy to address escalating global security challenges and ensure long-term military readiness. Key priorities include a commitment to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP, modernizing military technology, and resolving critical recruitment and retention shortages within the armed forces. Additionally, the strategy emphasizes the modernization of conventional forces and strengthening alliances within NATO to counter growing geopolitical threats from adversarial nations.

The only Chess I know is the musical also why is Henry dressed like Andy Burnham
Lolololol
Stop sending our armed forces to foreign lands and bombing them into the stone age, stop instigating coups around the world, stop fighting proxy wars and stop supporting the assassination of religious leaders and heads of state. That's how we could defend ourself.
The defence of the UK is non existent. Plus all the enemy is in the Labour Party
I am of the same view. When these AI commentators talk about the cosmos like these planets as if they were your cat
Hope it fails. Karma!
Remember folks always buy air con and never a useless heat pump.
We take home here top of housing because Y'All owe us
21:10 Saying Rachel Reeve is 'flashing her headlights' at Andy Burnham gives me a very different picture in my head😂
I love nieve UK 🇬🇧 🫴🏿💷💷💷💷
To be accurate, the question is "How is HM Government planning to aggress against other nations??", given that is currently engaged in aggression against Russia and Iran, and has assisted the Israeli terrorist state in its genocide of the Palestinians, and attacks on its other neighbours.
These regime can't even stop fighting age men coming over I rubber boats, love to see how the manage against war hardened Russians it pathetic. The countries hollowed out, what the hell is worth fighting for, we have been invaded and tge government ( all parties) are facilitating it, its treason.
Can the BBC afford an iron for Paddy's shirt? 😁
Defend itself from whom?
Russia is not planning to attack us, neither is China, nor Iran.
So, who then? France? Iceland? Oh, wait… Germany probably. That's actually concerning, I agree…
"Aware of the rules" are you 5?
Andy Burnham is not going to succeed as a prime minister, and neither would anybody else succeed if the UK tries to carry on without addressing the actual problem behind all its prime ministerial failures. The Main issue is that the UK, like most other countries (West, East, South or north) refuse to embrace democracy. The UK has misled its citizens about democracy for too long. non of the prime ministers ever get more than anywhere near 50% of the national vote. The current Prime minister was announced as having had a landslide when in fact he only had a 21.1 % vote. A prime minister needs a mandate.
First past the post in a country with four parties means a win should be around 26 % minimum. (21.1% is way below that)
That's the neat part: It isn't!
The political Class is devoid of all realities!
It beggars belief ! Who would want to attack the UK. For what reason ?
Bro sounds so much like Alexander Armstrong that it's distracting 😭💀
Most dangerous enemy is sharia and it need different defense. Free Iran !!!
The answer is the government cannot defend these shores because the banks need the cheap labour to shore up their fake money with illegal boat people. Starting a war in Ukraine via a CIA/MI6 coup because their President wanted to be neutral is not a defensive posture.
The UK has 200 nukes. Nobody will attack the united Kingdom. Does the UK sell weapons to other countries who are committing war crimes?
Hi, why does everyone keep saying that the Prime Minister "has" resigned?
Unless i missed something he said "I "will resign" in his monologue?
We shouldn't be informing our enemies of our military financial goals.
Pathetic
What a joke, we've already been conquered, our goverment let the enemy in.
Defend what? The UK is long gone. Anyone who can is leaving.
Playing Chess for pleasure is different from being a Grandmaster. No Recognition. No Leverage. Inconsequential. 😕😱
Why is andy still ignoring the boats 😮
The only thing we need to be defended from is our Governments❤️🏴🇬🇧🙏🏼
You mean Reeves is about to get sacked !!!!
Errrrr military drones cost 100k a piece, and are used once
❤

Crossbows, swords, catapults and boiling oil are obsolete.
Science is the perfect veil for the next era of warfare. When ‘technological innovation’ becomes the primary excuse for massive defense spending, we aren’t talking about progress anymore—we’re talking about the preparation for unseen conflicts. The winners of the next era won’t be those with the most soldiers, but those who can hide their lethality behind the mask of ‘innovation’.
Defend from What ? How about creating jobs and employment first. Build UK defense companies to sell arms to europe.

The huge benefit from working and supporting Ukraine is learning the future of warfare is drones and not huge ships , tanks etc. Its a revolutionary move that needs doing now
Enemy is within England already…Deal with it first 😂😂😂
