The UK government's National Security Strategy emphasizes the urgent need for the British public to prepare for potential threats of war, particularly from nations like Russia and China. The report highlights the increasing complexity of nuclear threats, with potential alliances between hostile states and terrorist organizations. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer calls for a significant investment in security measures, aiming to channel a collective wartime spirit reminiscent of World War II for both national safety and revitalization of the nation. It asserts that citizens' determination will be key to the UK's resilience in facing future challenges.
The years ahead will test the United Kingdom... The direction it takes - and the decisions we take - will reverberate through the decades.
We can mobilise that spirit again and use it both for our national security and the rebuilding of our country.
For the first time in many years, we have to actively prepare for the possibility of the UK homeland coming under direct threat.
The Prime Minister has vowed to spend 5% of gross domestic product on national security within the next ten years.
