Military chiefs in 'difficult meeting' as tensions mount over money

UK military leaders met to address a funding shortfall in the Defence Investment Plan amid inflation and geopolitical tensions, with budget growth to 2.6% of GDP by 2027.

Summary
Britain's top military chiefs held a "very difficult" meeting this week over how to fund plans to rebuild the armed forces amid fears of further cuts, defence sources have said. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) played down a report in the Spectator magazine that the top brass, led by Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, the chief of the defence staff, planned to write an extraordinary joint letter to John Healey, the defence secretary, to explain that his defence review published in June cannot be delivered without more cash.
