Closed petition Increase defence spending in the UK to at least 4% of GDP, immediately

We believe the UK urgently needs to prepare for the possibility of war by increasing the size and capability of our armed forces, introduce conscription, defend our national infrastructure from air attack and build a civil defence capability.

More details

Given the current climate in geopolitics, we believe the UK needs to take unilateral action and show global leadership. We think these actions would also stimulate the economy.
