Original Note:
When the Tories came to power in 2010, defence spending was 2.57% of GDP. They gradually cut it every year until 2018, when it reached 1.94% of GDP. Since then it has recovered to 2.07% in 2023. To cut the budget then make an unfunded promise to increase it is gaslighting. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/military-spending-defense-budget
