UK PM and Labour leader mark Armed Forces Day on campaign trail

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour Party leader Keir Starmer both attended events with military veterans to mark Armed Forces Day. Starmer reiterated his goal to increase military spending to 2.5 percent of GDP.

Keir Starmer, Labour Party Leader, said "We do want to get to 2.5 percent and it's really important that that's consistent with fiscal rules. The first thing we'll do is carry out a strategic review of resources, of capability, to make sure that the money we are spending is spent effectively on the things that we need."

Starmer also commented on introducing a retirement age in the House of Lords, which Labour plans to reform if elected.
