The Liberal Democrats are advocating for a £10,000 bonus to be offered to new soldiers to enhance troop numbers in response to evolving global threats. Party leader Sir Ed Davey emphasized the need for improved national security amidst concerns over aggressive moves by Russian President Putin and unpredictability from US leadership. In addition to military recruitment incentives, the party also wants to implement a public awareness campaign to prepare UK households for potential conflicts or cyber threats, marking a proactive approach to national defense.
The Lib Dems propose offering a £10,000 bonus to new soldiers and a public awareness campaign to ensure readiness for potential conflicts or cyber-attacks.
'It is clear given the threat of a barbaric Putin and the challenge of an erratic Trump, we need to do more to make Britain war-ready,' Sir Ed Davey stated.
Sir Ed Davey emphasized, 'War readiness also starts at home, which is why I am calling for a public awareness campaign aimed at every home in Britain.'
Under the Lib Dem plan, new soldiers would receive a £10,000 bonus after training, with former soldiers receiving £20,000 for returning to service.
