PM warns of 'growing threats' as he announces defence spending increase
Rishi Sunak is to increase UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030, as he warned Europe is at a "turning point" in the face of the growing threats from Russia, Iran and China.
The commitment amounts to an additional £75bn in funding over the next six years.
Speaking in Poland, the prime minister said the additional funding represents the "biggest strengthening of our national defence in a generation to meet the challenge of an increasingly dangerous world".

The only growing threats, are those they stir up.
Your ancestors would be ashamed of your cowardice Edward. Imagine if the folks had your mindset in both world wars.
Fake threats. No one is going to invade the UK. But imperial UK wants to take it to Russia.
Think Victoria Nuland and her Neocon friends that helped overthrow the democratically elected government in Ukraine and installed a right wing nationalist anti Russian government had something to do with it!
Rishi Sunak Prime Minister without election undemocratic 👇👇👇👇👇
British citizens can't get a GP appointment or pay the rent but the country can send Billions of £ for an overseas proxy war..
I really hate that we need to do this, it is however the least worst solution Russia will either be stopped in Ukraine or it will need to be stopped at the German border.
The money to Ukraine will stop Russia from invading us, we don't want to live under Russian rule do we.
id rather that, then be conscripted to fight in Poland in 10 years time
Domino effect is a classic play on public opinion. It was centre stage with Vietnam rhetoric 60 years ago.
@@Ian-sj1wy this isn't the domino effect though? Russia did attack Chechnya, Russia did attack Georgia, Russia did attack Ukraine, twice. this isn't theoretical, Russia have started 4 wars or military incidents in Europe since it was created 30 years ago... This isn't a theoretical domino...
All uk PM s r has the same pattern when talking, I like to know who’s controlling this puppet of pm s in uk
The country is broke, and we have invaders arriving everyday nothing works here, and people can't afford basic food and housing. So let's spend on defence. I want my tax back
The growing threat are floating across the channel on a daily basis
Huge new money for weapons, not our schools, our hospitals or our homeless but more and more weapons - no!
But what’s the point of having good schools and hospitals if we get invaded
No one is going to invade the UK.
Paid for on the back of poor British people. There’s always money for wars but never for looking after our own citizens
If every western country had that attitude we would all be in Russian Gulags.
@@JoeyBlogs007 doesn’t even make sense. The Tories cut the military budget when they came to power in 2010. This is just a cynical pre-election stunt
"back of poor people"?? Evidence?
@@T5Zplayer take a look around
@@crayontom9687 Nonsense
The only threat is Sunak staying in power! Terrible PM
The scam is right in front of your eyes.
BS.
Funny how a coming general election can focus minds !
And what exactly are defending ? Our way of life? That went over 20 years back. All he's on about defending is the banks
Absolutely on the money, as they say!!
@@carlbowers8159 :))
Defending US hegemony and US Imperialist activities around the world.
He can shove his army if they introduce Conscription to get involved in this war they will have biggest protests we have seen since Vietnam.
Anything to carry on the gravy train hey, your comment reeks of pip payments. 😂🎉😮
Conscription is coming..thats why he wants people of the sick so they can be declared medically fit for war. He knows if we went to war tomorrow the country wudnt stand a chance. The armed forces is too small and most of the civilian population are on the sick
The enemy is already here staying in hotels at the taxpayers expensive
As well as the super-rich Russians who are buying influence in London
Next 6 years what rubbish your party will be out next election 😂
It won’t change the policy they are the same party
To all the Russian bots I’ve had to endure for two years, enjoy your mobilization! 😂
Bet Mrs Sunak and her family have bought huge shareholdings in the arms industry.
Everyone has to protest!!! Stop paying taxes!!! We have a duty to do everything to prevent this happening
I knew this wouldn't be about the UK's defence but would instead be about Ukraine's defence, what an amazing surprise.
This man is taking us to war! Are we honestly okay with this?!
AVE him out!!
What an embarrassment .
Sure it went from 3% to 2.5% by 2030
Fear and war mongering
HAPPY ST GEORGES DAY EVERYONE 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 Come on sky news, how about wishing us a happy st Georges day. (Still waiting to hear from Victoria bird)😂
Too little, 5 years too late, and no reform of procurement. Guys not exactly a genius.
Making his friends rich. Disgusting. The threat comes from the government itself
Yeah sure, trust professional Liars and Traitors
This Prime Minister, conservative party, the opposition, the house of Lords, the establishment total waste of space never going overhaul required
Is there an election soon
Is it really a good idea to publicise such targets while the "enemy", I.e. Russia or Iran are listening? I just wonder if that isn't oversharing 🤔🤔
we already spend that.
Can't even control the Trojan horses coming to our shores in dingies let alone defend the whole country.
Unfortunately, too little to late!
Larry the cat would do better
No no no to spending money on arms😮😮😮
What about if they spend it on new legs? 😂
About time! Well done Mr Sunak👌
So many dense people, I bet Ukraine wishes they had spent more on defence prior to the Russian invasion
War footing.
America/Europe versus Russia/China, 6 months, 6 weeks and 6 days; starting from only I know.
Get your suitcase ready and do your push ups 😢🎉😂
So rishi mate are we entering WW3
Needs to start getting ethical in the channel, then.
he be out soon
From where Britain got t
Britain stepping up to the plate, well done. Best regards, from the USA
Scaremongering
what's scary about it? who wouldn't want the UK to be able to deter attack or not be blackmailed?
About time 😮
Sunak just another clown. His bosses tell him what to say.
Uk fail state
It's the welcome decision announced by the UK government for increasing budget in defence spending 👍👍
Talk is cheap Rishi
Glory to Ukraini. Glory to UK❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
What a joke stop the immigrant army turning up on the shore
When is he going to investigate the Russian involvement in Brexit ?
😂
Not a big fan of Rishi but honestly how things are turning out around the world, this is a good idea.
@@itsjustchris92😂😂😂😂 probably doesn't understand the true picture of the world. Also most likely stuck watching the BBC, CNN and reading the Telegraph. I was once like this😢
All i hear from my fellow British people is whing whing whing, get off the pip and get to work.
👍👍🇬🇧
a good job
About time wee need strong defence
Shut up rishi
Garbage
.....and new jobs will be created........✌️
Ukraine is Russia and Russia is Ukraine!🇷🇺
Bot 💩
@@T5ZplayerTrue but it is more convincing than the Ukraine bots
I'm a UK bot, guys!!

British well done for supporting freedom 👏 👍
