Britain's defence establishment has been thrown into turmoil after a second senior government official resigned within 24 hours, intensifying pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer over military spending plans.
Al Carns announced his resignation on Thursday, citing concerns that the government's defence budget is insufficient to address growing global security threats and the changing nature of modern warfare.
In his resignation letter, Carns argued that current spending plans fail to provide the resources needed by Britain's armed forces and do not adequately reflect the increasingly unstable international security environment.
His departure came just hours after John Healey also stepped down, reportedly over disagreements regarding defence funding and military preparedness.
The back-to-back resignations have exposed divisions within the government over national security priorities, raising questions about the future direction of Britain's defence policy.
Both officials reportedly expressed concerns that inadequate military investment could weaken operational readiness, place additional pressure on service personnel, and reduce the country's ability to respond to emerging threats.
The resignations represent one of the most significant challenges faced by Starmer's administration in the defence sector, with political observers suggesting the developments may trigger broader debates over government spending and national security strategy.
As pressure mounts, attention is now focused on how the government plans to address concerns over defence funding and restore confidence in the country's military leadership.
