Former NATO chief says UK's national security 'in peril'

Lord George Robertson, former NATO secretary general, used a speech to say the UK's national security is 'in peril' and to accuse Prime Minister Keir Starmer of 'corrosive complacency'. Robertson blamed HM Treasury spending decisions and political complacency for leaving the UK underprepared against military and non-military threats. Robertson, author of the British military review, said the government is unwilling to make the necessary investments in defence capability and resilience. His intervention directly challenges the Labour leadership to set out concrete plans for increased defence and resilience investment.
