Keir Starmer has few options if he wants to increase annual defence spending by up to £14bn before the end of this parliament.
In last summer’s spending review, the government set out plans to increase defence spending from 2.3% of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP), in 2024-25 – about £66bn, to 2.6% in 2028-29.
But now there are hints that the embattled prime minister wants to go much faster. At the Munich Security Conference at the weekend, Starmer argued for higher and more sustained defence spending to meet the threat from Russia. “We must build our hard power because that is the currency of our age,” he said. “We must spend more, deliver more and coordinate more.”
The BBC said No 10 was considering an increase to 3% of GDP by the end of this parliament in 2029 to meet Starmer’s ambition, although it is unclear if this will turn into a concrete plan given the many obstacles.
Labour backbenchers have other ideas as many seek to remedy more prosaic – though no less costly – headaches, such as NHS waiting lists and social care.
And then there are the Treasury borrowing limits. These have been put in place to bring down a spending deficit that has remained stuck at 5% of GDP for several years.
To achieve lower borrowing, Rachel Reeves was accused of sleight of hand in her November budget. The chancellor has pencilled in tight spending limits between 2027 and the summer of 2029, when the next general election must be called by.
Reeves hopes that strong economic growth will bail her out. A calmer global economy, with Donald Trump distracted by more domestic concerns, could mean most western governments also enjoy lower inflation than expected and reduced borrowing costs.
A recent assessment by Bloomberg of gilt yields – the interest rate paid by the Treasury on government debt – shows they have fallen since last November, saving about £1.5bn a year. That may help explain the curious timing of Starmer’s sudden enthusiasm for higher defence spending, with Reeves due to give her spring statement on 3 March.
However, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has taken a tough stance. The Treasury’s independent economic forecaster has insisted on calculating Whitehall spending without recourse to optimistic predictions for tax receipts and government borrowing costs.
Bee Boileau, a research economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) thinktank, said Labour, in order to stay aligned with OBR projections, had pencilled in only small increases in government spending in the years after 2027, limiting the scope for Starmer to take from rival Whitehall departments to feed the Ministry of Defence.
“You can’t find this kind of money from salami-slicing other departments,” she said. “The extra funds needed equal the total spending [by the justice department] on courts and prisons. So it will be very challenging to find what is needed from within existing spending limits.”
The OBR said in March last year that increasing defence spending to 3% of GDP would cost an additional £17.3bn a year by 2029-30.
Ruth Gregory, deputy chief UK economist at the consultancy Capital Economics, said the OBR was over-pessimistic: “If defence spending were to rise to 3% of GDP in 2029-30, that would probably cost about £14bn.
The IFS said it estimated that increasing defence spending to 3% of GDP would cost between £13bn and £14bn.
Gregory said Starmer and Reeves might be persuaded to borrow to fund the extra spending, but that would be a mistake. “Debt-financed defence spending is not a big growth- or productivity-enhancing investment. And there is a question of whether investors would tolerate much more debt-financed spending.”
She added: “That may mean the bulk of any adjustment would need to be financed through either higher taxes or lower spending elsewhere.”
Starmer could turn to higher taxes: it would take about 1.5p on income tax to raise the funds. This would be applied as extra to the freeze on income tax thresholds, which is already due to raise tens of billions of pounds by 2029.
Borrowing the funds to build more warships, buy extra fighter jets, and reverse the long-term decline in numbers of military personnel could spook the financial markets, which are on the lookout for reckless government spending.
Britain’s lenders are already nervous. Reeves must accommodate a £6bn overspend in 2029 on special needs education. Louise Casey’s report on adult social care is unlikely to be cost-free, adding a further budget line to the government’s accounts when the final recommendations are made in a couple of years’ time.
These extra costs are expected, even if the final numbers are not known. In addition, there could be many unforeseen events before the end of the decade, with large bills attached that would compete with a new enthusiasm for military spending.
Boileau said: “It will be crucial what the OBR says about the public finances on 3 March to coincide with the chancellor’s spring statement. The OBR could offer more fiscal space for the chancellor, though it would be a mistake to justify higher spending over many years from a one-off forecast.”
Normally the Speaker administers the oath to the new members, but after the movement in 2024, Parliament was dissolved, so there is neither a Speaker nor an MP. Even the Deputy Speaker is in jail. In such a situation, according to the Bangladeshi Constitution, the Chief Election Commissioner can administer the oath to the members. Apart from this, the President can nominate any member to administer the oath.

A deputy in Florida saved an unconscious woman during a house fire on Sunday.
Footage from Volusia County Sheriff’s deputy Austin Graham’s body camera shows him forcing entry into the home after responding to reports of a house fire.
Another deputy helped Graham carry the woman once he got her out of the house. She was then brought to a nearby hospital in serious condition, but she is expected to make a full recovery.
Graham was evaluated for smoke inhalation on the scene, but did not require hospitalization.
“Great news: At last update, she was stable and expected to make a full recovery! The cause of the fire appears to be accidental, starting in the kitchen,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement on Facebook.
Firefighters responded to the scene in late January after a neighbor had reported that there may have been occupants inside the home, which was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.
Police were able to contact the homeowner after running the license plates on a vehicle outside the home and getting a phone number. The owner, who was not home at the time, arrived a short time later.
Firefighters responded to the blaze at a home in Poulsbo, Washington, on Jan. 16, 2026.(Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue )
Fire officials said that while no people were at the home at the time of the fire, dozens of animals were inside.
“Firefighters were able to rescue three dogs, but unfortunately, approximately 40 other dogs perished in the fire,” Ileana LiMarzi, a public information officer with the fire department, said in the statement.

The police have solved the mystery of blind murder in Malira village adjacent to the city of Muzaffarnagar in the western northern district within just 24 hours. In the case of brutal murder of a young man named Sandeep that took place on Saturday night, the police have arrested his wife Meenakshi and his cousin brother (boyfriend) Gautam alias Saurabh. The wife, blinded by love, hatched a shocking conspiracy to remove her own husband and killed him.
Disclosing the matter, SP City Satyanarayan Prajapat said that deceased Sandeep’s wife Meenakshi was having an illicit relationship with her own cousin brother Gautam for a long time. Sandeep was against this relationship, due to which both of them decided to remove him from the way.
Brutally murdered with a hammer along with her lover.
SP City Satyanarayan Prajapat said that, as per the plan, on Saturday night, Meenakshi first made Sandeep unconscious by giving him intoxicating pills in his food. When he became completely unconscious, Meenakshi and Gautam hit him hard on his head, face and neck with a hammer and put him to death.
Dead body loaded on bike and thrown in the forest
After committing the murder inside the house, the accused did not panic but tried to destroy the evidence. Both the accused loaded Sandeep’s body on the bike in the middle of the road and threw it in the forest near the village. Returning home, he changed his blood-stained clothes and hid the ala-katla (hammer). When Sandeep’s body was recovered on Sunday morning, the police registered a case on the complaint of the family members and formed two teams under the leadership of ASP.
The accused reached behind the bars within 24 hours
On the basis of suspicion, when the police strictly interrogated wife Meenakshi and Sandeep’s cousin Gautam, both of them broke down and confessed to their crime. The police have recovered the hammer used in the murder and blood stained clothes at the behest of the accused. SP City said that both the accused have been arrested and they are being produced before the Honorable Court. The police team is being appreciated for this quick action.
Police has solved the mystery of the sensational murder that took place in ‘Uncle Gali’ of Dwarkapuri police station area of Indore. In connection with the decomposed body of the girl found in the flat four days later, the police have arrested her lover Piyush Dhamnotia from Mumbai. The revelations made by the accused who was caught by the police during interrogation are shocking. The reasons for the murder are said to be doubt over character and an ongoing dispute regarding marriage.
According to DCP Krishna Lalchandani, the deceased and the accused Piyush were friends since college and were in a relationship for a long time. It was Piyush who had rented that flat in Dwarkapuri. On the day of the incident, both of them had reached the flat to resolve their mutual dispute. There, first there was a physical relationship between the two, but after some time a fight started again over the issue of marriage and doubts over their character.
Ran away after locking the flat
Piyush suspected that his girlfriend talks to other boys through mobile apps. In this anger he strangled his girlfriend. The extent of brutality was that after killing, he even tied the dead body with a rope. After the incident, he remained sitting near the dead body for a long time and then locked the flat and ran away.
Tantric ritual in hotel room
After committing the murder, Piyush’s mental condition had become very strange. He fled from Indore and reached Panvel in Maharashtra. Investigation revealed that he took a room in a hotel there and continued performing ‘Tantric activities’ throughout the night. He also tried to call the ‘spirit’ of the deceased in the hotel room. After this, he reached Mumbai to escape from the police and kept wandering in local trains throughout the night. To destroy the evidence, he had also destroyed the mobile phone of the deceased. At present the police is strictly interrogating the accused.
Dutch police have arrested a man for “computer hacking” after accidentally handing him their own sensitive files and then getting annoyed when he didn’t hand them back.
The Politie said on Monday that a 40-year-old man from Ridderkerk was arrested on Thursday after he wound up with confidential documents thanks to what officers acknowledge was their own cock-up.
The chain of events reads less like a breach and more like an own goal. In connection with a separate investigation, the man contacted the police on February 12 to report he had images that might be relevant. An officer responded by sending him a link so he could upload the files – except the link sent was a download link, effectively giving him access to confidential police documents.
The man did not actively break in or exploit a vulnerability in the traditional sense; he simply clicked the link he was given and gained access to material he was never meant to see.
Dutch cops say they told him to stop and delete the material, but he allegedly refused, saying he would only do so if he “received something in return.”
He did, in the end, get something in return – a trip in the back of a police car.
Officers arrested the man Thursday evening, searched his home, and seized data storage devices to recover the documents and prevent them from being shared further. Police say they have also reported the incident as a data breach and are continuing their investigation.
Police also offered a lesson in link etiquette, writing: “If you receive a download link knowing you should be receiving an upload link, are clearly told not to download, and then choose to download the files anyway, you may be guilty of computer trespassing.”
Authorities have not disclosed what kind of documents were exposed, how sensitive the haul was, or whether the stash included personal data or files tied to ongoing investigations. The Dutch police did not respond to The Register’s questions.
The charge cited is “computervredebreuk,” which is broadly equivalent to unauthorized access to computer systems, though the circumstances – namely that the access was the result of a police blunder – may raise uncomfortable questions about where liability actually sits when the front door is left wide open. ®
America convicted of a sex crime by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) jeffrey epstein There has been a stir after 30 lakh documents related to it were made public. The names of many prominent people of the world have also been revealed in these documents, which have become major topics of discussion. In this series, the name of the head of Dubai’s global port giant company DP World also came to light, who has resigned from the company after increasing pressure over his links with Epstein.
The resignation of Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman and CEO of global port operator DP World, comes at a time when recently released files revealed that the Emirati businessman had exchanged hundreds of emails with Epstein over a decade.

Affiliated institutions put pressure on Dubai company
Dubai-owned logistics company DP World, which operates port terminals on six continents and plays a key role in the global trade infrastructure, was recently facing increasing pressure from its peers.

Additionally, the Prince of Wales’s Earthshot project, which received funding from DP World, was also reported to the UK Charity Commission following Sulayem’s appearance in the new Epstein files.
