Shadow Defence sec criticises delay in defence spending hike

Holding a review before deciding how to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP is "damaging for the armed forces", the shadow defence secretary has said. James Cartlidge, who was appointed to the shadow cabinet on Monday said: What we've got from Labour today is dither and delay, whereas Keir Starmer has the opportunity to be firm, instead I'm afraid he has been indecisive."
