AI Summary:
The U.K. Is about to see the biggest increase in defense spending since the Cold War. John Healey says the Labour government’s current plans for defense spending will be enough to transform the country’s military. He does not expect the number of soldiers — currently at a historic low — to rise until early 2030s. Russia is “attacking the U.K. Daily” as part of 90,000 cyber attacks from state-linked sources. A cyber command to counter such threats is expected to be set up. “The tensions are greater but we prepare for war in order to secure the peace,” Healey said.
