UK defence secretary resigns, citing insufficient government military spending

The United Kingdom’s defence secretary announced his resignation. He said the government is unwilling to allocate sufficient funds for the military. The statement was reported by WRAL. The departure follows ongoing debates over defence budgeting. Critics have warned that under‑investment could affect readiness. The secretary’s exit may prompt a review of defence spending priorities. No immediate successor was named in the announcement. The situation adds pressure on the government to address military financing.
