Summary
Two UK defence ministers, John Healey and Al Carns, have resigned from Sir Keir Starmer's cabinet over the government's defence investment plan, which they argue falls short of what is needed amid rising threats. Healey's resignation letter accused the prime minister and chancellor of being unwilling to commit necessary resources. Dan Jarvis has been appointed as the new defence secretary to replace Healey.
