UK Defence Secretary John Healy quits, piling more pressure on PM Starmer's leadership | ABC News

The UK's Defence Secretary John Healey has resigned from his position, accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to commit the government resources that are needed to defend the country.

Britain's defence and finance ministries have been locked in talks for months over how to meet rising demands to expand military spending, delaying Britain's Defence Investment Plan since last year.

In an open letter to Sir Keir, Mr Healy says the Prime Minister has been unable to commit adequate resources needed for Britian, at a time of rising threats. Europe Bureau Chief Mazoe Ford gave an update on The World.
