NHS and education face cuts as ‘reckless’ Starmer pushes for increased Nato spending
SIR KEIR STARMER’S “reckless” push for increased Nato spending will bring the world closer to war while deepening funding crises in Britain’s public services, anti-war campaigners warned today.
The Prime Minister was criticised for prioritising big business and the country’s “special relationship” with the US over the NHS, education and combating climate change.
Sir Keir pressed for European nations to increase defence spending as he insisted his administration would meet its pledge to increase it to 2.5 per cent of GDP before meeting with US President Joe Biden and other Nato leaders at a summit to mark the alliance’s 75th anniversary.
