Deep in a political crisis, the British Prime Minister plans to spend a huge amount on playing the "national defense card".

The UK Labour Party recently suffered a disastrous defeat in local elections, plunging Prime Minister Starmer into a governance crisis. According to British media reports, Starmer is planning to agree to increase defense spending by 18 billion in the near future in an attempt to boost his government's popularity. It is not yet clear how this funding will be raised, but it is believed that the UK Treasury is feeling pressure.
