Petition Defence of the Realm

More details

We believe that the defence of the Realm should be the government's absolute priority and that to ensure this, in these uncertain times with the ever increasing increasing number of potential treats, a greater proportion of the GDP of the UK must be spent on defence.

We call upon the government to commit to spend at least 2.5% of GDP on defence, with immediate effect.
