Defence: Only the Lib Dems are committed to reversing troop cuts

15 Apr 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Labour and the Conservatives announcements on defence policy today, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“Only the Liberal Democrats are committed to reversing the Conservatives’ irresponsible cuts to Army troop numbers. With Putin waging war in Europe and Trump threatening the future of NATO, cutting the British Army by 10,000 troops is a major threat to our long-term national security.

“Meanwhile, the Conservatives and Labour only offer meaningless talk about vague aspirations for some unspecified time in the future.”
