Original Note:
This overstates the increase. The increase from 2.32% of GDP to 2.5% amounts to an additional £20bn over a 6 year period. The £75bn figure has been calculated by assuming current spending is frozen in cash terms. This would see the UK breach it’s NATO spending commitments. https://x.com/benzaranko/status/1782891401635627112?s=46
