Bolton argues that the current commitments do not go far enough, describing the proposals as &#8220;meaningless&#8221; in light of the security challenges facing Britain and its allies.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion focuses on the UK&#8217;s defence budget, military readiness, and the growing debate over how much the country should invest in its armed forces. Bolton contends that spending 3.5% of GDP should be considered the minimum required to strengthen national security, while questioning whether Labour&#8217;s current timetable reflects the urgency of the international situation.<\/p>\n<p>#defence  #armedforces  #labour  <\/p>\n<p>Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS<\/p>\n<p>Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com\/friend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018MEANINGLESS!\u2019 | Henry Bolton BLASTS Labour for FAILING to increase defence spending fast enough Take your personal data&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69880,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[417],"tags":[473,20540,52602,9094,236,9969,1076,7022,442,471,472,58104,264,27476,31,474,247,475,279,1423,58103,235],"class_list":["post-69879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gb-news","tag-analysis","tag-andy-burnham","tag-andy-burnham-latest","tag-armed-forces","tag-breaking-news","tag-british-armed-forces","tag-defence","tag-defence-spending","tag-gb-news","tag-gb-news-live","tag-gbn","tag-henry-bolton","tag-labour","tag-labour-latest","tag-news","tag-news-update","tag-politics","tag-reports","tag-uk","tag-wes-streeting","tag-wes-streeting-latest","tag-world-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@videos\/117011970955591840","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
