Background
We should be putting ourselves in a better position to support in conflicts around the work such as that in Ukraine, but also to put ourselves on a better footing to defend ourselves and our allies should any conflict escalate to a level that requires NATO involvement. The government is currently lagging behind our allies in defence budgets and are not fully prepared for escalation of any sort.
