LONDON: British defense minister John Healey quit on Thursday in ​a dispute over military spending, accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to commit the government resources that are needed to defend the ‌country. Britain’s defense ‌and finance ​ministries ‌have ⁠been ​locked in talks ⁠for months over how to meet rising demands to expand military spending, delaying Britain’s Defense Investment Plan since last year.
