- A think tank has warned any future government would have to find £8bn of cuts to fund the government's planned increase in defence spending.
Rishi Sunak announced on Tuesday he was pledging to increase spending by £75bn by 2030 to put Britain on a "war footing" against threats from China and Russia.
However, the Institute for Fiscal Studies warned the pledge would mean cuts to public services while Labour branded it a pre-election "gimmick".

He’ll be gone soon 😡
Please please please
Not soon enough!
Vote Workers Party cos Labour & Reform will be throwing our £££ @ the Ukrainian mess !!!!!
Sunak is just an empty puppet!!!
well thank goodness he is on borrowed time. £75bn aint coming from my taxes, the rich can pay for it as they benefit from all these wars. Wonder how much his wife and co are making off this?
I hope whoever wins the next election support Ukraine. We can't just sit about why Putler invades Europe.
this hasnt got anything to do about wars this is about defence of our great country from people who wanna destroy us. i dont really like the tories but this is nothing but a good thing we need to defend our island with blood sweat tears and TAXES.
And his cutting benefits for the sick and mentally disturbed, don't let Ukraine and Israel down but let your own live in poverty
I heard that his wife has some stakes in defense firms, somewhere around £236m. Investment portfolio
But is he tho. Well unless we vote reform he will remain or worse starmer will get in
No, we are a third-world country spending money we don't have brilliant
Who voted to give him any right to make decisions for us?
Everyone who voted tories in
@@craigwebb4012 No they did not
He is an unelected PM, just the same as King Charles.
Time.... UNELECTED SUNAK...... Was.... Independently.............. Scrutinised *
Disgrace !!! People are suffering from cost of leaving crises and thus guy has money for everyone except his own people!
But under our voting system his "own" people have placed him as PM. Yes I know we don't elect PMs but we allow a majority party to do that for us- and that has proved to be a national disaster.
He certainly has no clue what cost of living means 🙃
We are not his people unless we are Indian
@@Helen-nl9lvrishi sunak is not indian
I bet King Chuck doesn’t give a fcuk 😡
It does not matter! They are out at the next election.
yea , but it was nice to see an Indian face
annoyingly not soon enough. They have given themselves times to sign dodgy contracts that the next govt wont be able to reverse without the UK tax payer paying serious penalties, i am sure of it.
Yeh - then Labour will axe it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@user-jg2nq6ll4cthey won’t Starmer was at bae last week 😅
Dangerous little pipsqueak.
Don’t forget arrogant and smug too 😂
And slimey
They money to Ukraine but who will fight the war?
it won't happen if anyone believes what Fishy Rishis says they are as deluded as he is
He doing what he does best giving money away better used at home
Bollocks bollocks, thrice bollocks.
2:40 That military vehicle looks very luxurious itself.
If sunak believes in it maybe he should his money into it
Please. 2.5% of GDP defense spending is not a "war footing" as Rishi proclaims. If the UK were serious, it would follow the Polish example and set out a plan to restore defense spending to Cold War levels i.e. 4% of GDP
He needs to pack it in making these enormous policy announcements and pledging decades of money and work into things. He was never elected and he’ll literally be out on his arse in a few months. He’s up there with the worst PMs in British history.
_”Can I have more money too?”_

Having an Indian man as PM being told by global entities how to waste our tax money is like having a trans woman with all male tackle doing Tampax lessons.
Geppetto.
He'll be gone soon...
But what a magnificent legacy he will leave! I already feel so underwhelmed I am on the brink of tears (of laughter).
No more brown envelopes
75 billion but I doubt it will keep the dinghies at bay
UK spending a total of 75Bn on own defense. How is that enough? That is the amount that USA is giving away to Ukraine just to help defend Ukraine in a war. And it is not nearly enough for Ukraine to survive war. If UK wants to be prepared to defend itself in looming war, we better take it serious.
We are a collapsing country.
Every aspect that involves government spending is either broken or on its knees.
The tax payer is penniless.
He obviously hasn't used the NHS recently or paid his mortgage. The people who paid their taxes are in dire need to stay afloat. Why save people in foreign countries when people and livelihood are perishing at home?
Don't mention the war
And where has he borrowed the money this time. The 1% Mega Rich via the banks who we the taxpayers will have to pay back with Interest.
Makes perfect sense - we've left the EU so we need to remain on friendly terms with them for our economys sake
🤡
Get him out before he spends more of our fecking money .
Wait till the Looney Left takeover!
Wait till Labour takes the reigns!
Sunak was handpicked to lead because he’s easy to manipulate
This W⚓️ thinks money grows on trees😡
*1, 2, 3, 4!*
*Migrants in Hotels Deserve More!*
*Money!*
This guy is a joke 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
