Summary
John Healey has resigned as UK defence secretary, accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves of failing to commit adequate resources to national defence through the defence investment plan (Dip). Healey's resignation letter was blistering in tone, claiming the government is putting the country's security at risk amid rising international threats. The resignation severely undermines Starmer's political authority and pushes his premiership toward potential collapse.
