Sir Keir Starmer reiterates Labour's commitment to the UK having nuclear weapons to "keep Britain safe".

A Labour government would aim to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP “as soon as resources allow”, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

The Labour leader also told the i newspaper he would conduct a strategic review of defence and security “to be clear what the priorities are”.

Sir Keir’s aim matches that of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who has also said he wants defence spending to rise to 2.5%
