The article discusses the current state of British politics as it experiences a paradoxical polarized consensus, where both the ruling party and the official opposition align on defense spending. Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure to raise defense spending to 2.5% of GDP amid rising tensions with Russia and a perceived reversal of US support under Trump's policies. The implications for global relations mirror past conflicts, suggesting a return to a competitive landscape that undermines decades of multilateral cooperation and stability.
British politics is experiencing a rare incidence of polarized consensus, where both the ruling party and opposition converge on defense spending policies to address urgent international threats.
The pressure on Keir Starmer to increase defense spending arises independently from Tory demands, rooted in the escalating threats posed by Russia and global instability.
