00:00Britain's defense leadership is facing growing turmoil after Armed Forces Minister Al-Kharns resigned on Thursday,
00:07just a hour after Defense Secretary John Healy stepped down.
00:11In his resignation letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Karns said the government's military spending plans
00:17do not match the scale of current security threats or provide enough resources for the armed forces.
00:24Karns warned that global instability is increasing and that modern warfare is evolving faster than Britain can adapt under current
00:34funding levels.
00:35His departure follows Healy's resignation a day earlier, who also raised concerns that existing defense budgets could reduce military readiness
00:44and affect national security.
00:46The back-to-back exit of two senior defense figures revealed deep cracks at the heart of Starmer's government
00:53in exposing a serious rift that goes far beyond ordinary budget disputes.
