Keir Starmer is pushing for a massive UK military upgrade, proposing to lift defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 and possibly 3% later. His plan calls for a bigger submarine fleet, new munitions factories, and faster shipbuilding—sparking debate over costs and political will as critics highlight funding uncertainties.
Keir Starmer refused to apologise to ex-Labour MP Rosie Duffield during Prime Minister's Questions on April 23, 2025, after pressure from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch over Duffield's gender-critical stance. The heated debate followed a Supreme Court ruling affirming biological sex in equality law, sparking renewed controversy over women's rights and transgender access to single-sex spaces.
UK PM Keir Starmer plans to abolish NHS England to cut bureaucracy and improve efficiency. Established in 2012, the body will merge with the Department for Health and Social Care, aiming to halve its staff while focusing resources on patient care. The move, deemed necessary by some, sparks concern over potential service disruptions amid longstanding challenges like extensive waiting lists.
