Britain must spend more on defence, warns former top civil servant
Briefly

Former cabinet secretary Sir Mark Sedwill urges nearly doubling Britain's defence spending to 4% of GDP and restoring the international aid budget to 0.7% of national income. He emphasizes the need for allies to upgrade defence industrial capacity to wartime levels and buy weaponry for Ukraine.
