Summary
Former NATO chief George Robertson is slamming the UK’s new defense plan, calling it “too little, too late” and warning it’s eroding confidence at home and abroad. He argues the delayed DIP fails to match the accelerated timeline for peer threats, leaving defense firms disappointed and risking the UK’s credibility at NATO — where allies are ramping up spending while Britain lags. With a £13 billion shortfall and the next PM inheriting the mess, Robertson warns the UK must act decisively or face isolation on the global stage.
