Norway have increased their defence spending to 2.17% of GDP against the NATO target of 2.16%. In 2024 the UK's defence spending is 2.3% of GDP. It is therefore misleading to suggest Norway is leading the way for the UK to follow to 2.5%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/298527/defense-spending-as-share-of-gdp-united-kingdom-uk/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1844696811920920797

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
