The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Een podcast door Newstalk ZB - Donderdagen

The UK is set to spend more on defence.  Prime Minister Keir Starmer's unveiled plans to lift the defence spend, signalling it could reach 3% of GDP at the next Parliament.  He vowed to make Britain "a battle-ready, armour-clad nation”, and Defence Secretary John Healey says they’re in a “new era of threat”, which demands a higher spend.   UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that although many understand the need for increased defence, it’s not understood where the money is going to come from.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
