  • UK Defense Shares Jump After Starmer's £15B Plan; Analysts Flag Risks
    July 1, 2026, 8:29 AM EDT. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's outgoing government outlined an extra £15 billion ($19.9 billion) in defense spending for the U.K. over four years, taking annual defense spending to £79.1 billion by 2029, or 2.7% of GDP.
