Former NATO chief warns UK national security in peril due to defense delays and funding gaps.

Former NATO Secretary General Lord George Robertson has warned Britain’s national security is "in peril" due to political complacency and insufficient defense investment under Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Robertson, who helped shape the government’s defense review, criticized delays in a promised 10-year investment plan and a £28 billion funding gap. He accused Treasury officials of obstructing necessary spending and emphasized that rising global threats require urgent action, though the government maintains it is making the largest sustained defense increase since the Cold War.
