Increase the UK defence spending
We should be increasing our defence spending to increase our stockpiles of ammunition and provide us with additional resources such as Tanks, Frigates, Aircraft and Drones.
We should be putting ourselves in a better position to support in conflicts around the work such as that in Ukraine, but also to put ourselves on a better footing to defend ourselves and our allies should any conflict escalate to a level that requires NATO involvement. The government is currently lagging behind our allies in defence budgets and are not fully prepared for escalation of any sort.
