Join GCOMS for an online presentation by Professor Ron Smith from Birkbeck University of London as we discuss the future of military spending in the UK. With the Labour Government pledging to increase military spending to 2.5% of GDP – with the support of other political parties, the UK is set to spend billions of pounds more on the military in coming years, despite already spending more than £100,000 every minute of the year.
