"We must look beyond this conflict in the Middle East and develop the resources we need to respond to this new era of threats. We have a huge amount of work to do to reassert Britain as a power in the world."
"If our military is strengthened, our hand is strengthened. We must undertake the biggest peacetime programme of rearmament in our country's history."
"I do find the nature of [Trump's] public remarks very disconcerting, because everybody's watching. It's not just on social media."
The Conservatives aim to reinstate the two-child benefit cap to finance a major military rearmament initiative, described as the largest peacetime program in UK history. Kemi Badenoch emphasized the need for the UK to enhance its military readiness and reassert itself as a global power. The plan includes recruiting 6,000 full-time soldiers and 14,000 reservists, with an estimated £20 billion in funding sourced from the benefit cap and reallocating funds from net zero projects. Badenoch criticized the current government's military preparedness and highlighted the importance of strengthening the UK's defense capabilities.
