UK PM says 'will always do what is needed' to keep country safe

11th Jun 2026 19:12

(Alliance News) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed Thursday to keep his country safe, after his defence minister quit and accused the government of not committing enough money to defence.

"I will always do what is needed to keep our country safe," Starmer wrote to John Healey hours after he quit his post, adding that a proposed investment plan would allow the armed forces to transform and modernise.
