The UK government is ramping up its nuclear capabilities in response to increasing threats from countries like Russia, China, and North Korea. Defence Secretary John Healey disclosed alarming figures of 90,000 cyber attacks from hostile states over the past year. The National Security Strategy emphasizes the need for the UK to prepare for potential conflict. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has acknowledged the rise of Russian aggression and extremist ideologies, emphasizing the changing nature of warfare. As part of these efforts, the UK will reintroduce RAF nuclear roles and invest in advanced F35A fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
We are under constant attack. I came in as Defence Secretary less than a year ago and I have been quite taken aback, I have to say, to find that over the last year, we've had 90,000 direct attacks on different parts of defence that we can link to hostile states, including Russia.
Russian aggression menaces our continent. Strategic competition is intensifying. Extremist ideologies are on the rise. Technology is transforming the nature of both war and domestic security.
In this world of increasing uncertainty, we have to take the defence of our homeland more seriously.
