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.

Decrease but use the money to invest into space program.
@9KV27WL1yr1Y
Increase, however de-prioritise trident and instead focus on high quality equipment and not the nuclear programme.
@9JPRHMF1yr1Y
Well ideally but one that’s dependent on our relationship with other countries in their world and two that’s dependent on the uk’s relative spending
@9FX2PPZ1yr1Y
If it is required to protect our country then yes but if it is not a necessary requirement then don’t waste money that could be used on housing homeless people and giving jobs to our citizens instead of the foreigners
@9D7BTHQ2yrs2Y
Disband the military with immediate effect
@9PQK72F9mos9MO
Increase, but only to help Military members that suffer from PTSD and other injuries or illnesses suffered whilst they were serving the country.
Given that it is such a tiny percentage of GDP, it should be doubled. Putin is a very credible and current threat.
@924YX9Y3yrs3Y
Adjust to a more focused spending plan, make sure funds are going to the nessacary department
@8ZMTNRM3yrs3Y
neither but the quality of the military should be maintained heavily
@8DFJF9Y5yrs5Y
Increase, but only to provide essential services
@99RPDSC2yrs2Y
Not enough knowledge in topic to make a stance.
@8SMSXHT4yrs4Y
We should not be sharing equipment with other countries!
It should be proportional in accordance with global perceived threat and constantly reviewed
