Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer pledge support for the armed forces during Armed Forces Day, with Sunak emphasizing the Conservative Party's promises to servicemen and women, including meeting the Help for Heroes Veterans' Pledge and increasing defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030. Starmer vows a Labour government will be a "government of service, for those who serve" and announces new powers for Labour's planned Armed Forces Commissioner.
