Original Note:
The £75bn figure has been widely discredited, including by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) which says this increase relies on the Government inventing a flat baseline for defence spending. This would see the UK breach its NATO obligations to spend 2% of GDP on defence. https://ifs.org.uk/articles/empty-defence-spending-promises-are-shot-dark
