#Starmer #Ukraine Now that #KingCharles has offered to help in the peace effort, why not ask him and the #RoyalFamily to donate say £10Bn from their wealth to increase #Defencespending so that we don't have to cut #ForeignAid?

What is the equivalent of 2% on #UK #DefenceSpending in terms of pence on higher rate tax?
(Might as well tax the oligarchs and arms manufacturers)

8/9 The path forward requires Europe to increase defence spending—in some cases doubling it—while using funds more efficiently through rationalized arms production. They must also help Ukraine survive. A strong democratic Ukraine helps protect Europe's eastern flank.

6/8 Instead, Reeves placed the burden of increased defence spending on the most vulnerable, through cuts to benefits for disabled people and slashing the aid budget, rather than considering alternatives like a wealth tax on the richest.

Gianfranco Addario is now speaking about rising support for defence spending
40% of the public now support increased defence spending, that’s double the proportion who want to see it cut (20%).
Support is strongest among Reform UK and Conservative voters.

Germany's seismic shift sees budget hawks throwing fiscal restraint aside.
Despite campaigning on austerity, chancellor-elect Merz now backs a €100 billion off-books infrastructure fund—ironically from the staunchest Atlanticist in German politics.

8/9 President Andrzej Duda proposed amending Poland's constitution to mandate defence spending of at least 4% of GDP annually—already the highest proportion among NATO members, with current spending at 4.1% and plans to reach 4.7% this year.

This year’s #NATOsummit was unusually concise, with just 427 words in its final declaration. Yet it pledged a major shift: #defencespending to rise to 5% of GDP by 2035. What does that mean for cyber? bindinghook.com/articles-bin...
Out of sight, out of cyber? Not for NATO
This year’s NATO summit introduced a new 5% defence spending pledge yet seemed to omit the cyber agenda. However, a look under the surface shows cyber has not been forgotten.

6/8 The German shift removes excuses behind which other European states have hidden regarding inadequate defence investment. "The era of inward-turned European denial about Russia and about defence spending has ended," bringing fresh purpose to the continent.

3/12 Australia has announced "the most significant increase in defence spending in peacetime Australia since WWII" but still falls well below Trump's desired 3.5-5% of GDP target. Current spending sits at 2%, with projections to reach only 2.4% by 2027-28.

Totally support uplift in defence spending-long overdue. But why can’t it be funded by a tax on the wealthy rather than the needy in developing countries?

2/7 "Canada has called us and they want to be a part of it," Trump declared while unveiling plans for a three-year, $175 billion US project called the Golden Dome. "They want to hook in... We'll work with them on pricing."

When #KemiBadenoch calls for 3% #DefenceSpending citing “dangerous times”, why are the #media not asking her why the #government she served CUT defence budgets?
Or why #BorisJohnson weakened #UK armoured forces while #Putin's tanks massed on the #Ukraine border?

4/9 This remarkable proposal would enable sustained, elevated defence spending, positioning Germany to lead as Europe seeks strategic autonomy from an increasingly unreliable United States under Trump's second administration.
