In 2021/22, the United Kingdom spent approximately 48.6 billion British pounds on defense, an increase of around four billion pounds when on the previous year. In October 2022 British Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace announced that Britain’s military spending will double and reach 100 billion pounds by 2030, meeting the new Prime Minister Truss’ goal of increasing military spending to 3% of GDP.

Increase I guess? We should avoid another war by all means, there are far too many babies,small children and innocent animals in our country, a war would be devastating and I can guarantee a riot would ensue if war was coming for us. War is not safe, it is not needed, but should we targeted or attacked, we should absolutely be ready and able to defend our country so I guess keep finding the military to make sure they are able to keep us safe should the worst happen.

Increase as long as the money goes towards supporting people moving on from the military and the mental health of all personnel.
Decrease, and put the money into food and healthcare

Adjust to a more focused spending plan, make sure funds are going to the nessacary department

Have an automatic embargo and full audit of uk military spending; subsequently review and work out properly what is required, a legitimate cost analysis, then spend accordingly and appropriately. Currently high cost, poor value, ineffective.
@8DFJF9Y5yrs5Y
Increase, but only to provide essential services

The Military is very important but I would say keep spending as it is.
@8VKPF7G4yrs4Y
Increase, but not on trident.
Increase, to upgrade and modernise the military. After doing so, decrease to only maintaince and essential R&D
@8S2GKKC4yrs4Y
Spend the money that Trident would cost to look after those who serve in the forces properly.
