Summary
UK Defence Minister John Healey resigned unexpectedly just hours before a scheduled AUKUS meeting with Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles. Healey blamed 14 years of Conservative rule for inadequate defence spending and emphasized his personal commitment to the SSN-AUKUS submarine program. His resignation adds to the instability of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government.
