John Healey has said the prime minister is failing to secure sufficient funding to meet NATO obligations
British Secretary of Defense John Healey has tendered his resignation to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in the latest blow to the embattled Labour government.
Healey complained in an open letter that Starmer has been "unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling to commit the resources" required for sweeping reforms he sought to implement and to raise the spending level to 3% of GDP to meet Britain's obligation to NATO.
The minister cited the US-Israeli attack on Iran in late February and the increasing strain that European members of the American-led bloc are facing amid doubts about Washington's commitment as factors necessitating more money for the military.
