The Telegraph: We’re on the brink of a world war and Britain is woefully underprepared
Keir Starmer's government faces significant challenges in military readiness as the British Army struggles with personnel shortages and low recruitment. With only about 67,000 fully trained soldiers available, the Army is operating at 83% capacity amid rising demands and an ongoing war in Ukraine.
The situation is exacerbated by government policies affecting military families, such as the VAT on private school fees and delayed housing models. Despite a retention bonus to stem personnel loss, experts warn that without substantial investment in recruitment and modernization, the Army risks becoming outdated and ineffective.
