Britain is to increase the size of her military.

British Defence Secretary John Healey has announced that British defence expenditure will rise from 2.3% to 3% of GDP by 2034.

The Labour Party has also announced that new weapons factories will be built "very soon" to show Vladimir Putin the UK is "stepping up our deterrents."

The Labour government has also announced at least six new arms plants as part of a £6bn push to rearm at a time of growing threats.

The Government is to release the Strategic Defence Review tomorrow which will say, amongst other things, that the Royal Navy will greatly increase the number of its nuclear submarines, with an extra TWELVE attack submarines to be built.

The British Government says the country must be prepared for war.

Britain to increase capability of detonating nukes on enemies

Nuclear-armed Great Britain plans to build 16 new attack submarines (as part of AUKUS - the Australia, UK and US military alliance) - four of which will be armed with nuclear weapons - and invest £15 billion into warhead and munitions stockpiles and bring back air-delivered nuclear weapons using F-35A jets — a capability Britain hasn't had since the Cold War.
