Ex-NATO chief accuses Starmer government of corrosive complacency on defence
Former NATO Secretary General George Robertson has sharply criticized the UK government under Keir Starmer for what he calls a 'corrosive complacency towards defence,' warning that military underfunding has left the country in peril and unprepared for threats like the Iran war. He advocates for increased defence spending, potentially through cuts to other departments, amid a reported £28 billion funding gap and delays in the strategic defence review.
