Starmer's government in freefall? Two top UK ministers walk out over armed forces 'funding failure'

UK politics is in turmoil as Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure after senior defence officials resign over a bitter military funding dispute. Defence Secretary John Healey and Armed Forces Minister Al Carns reportedly stepped down in protest, warning that the UK’s armed forces are being underfunded at a time of rising global threats. The crisis has shaken Downing Street and intensified concerns over Labour’s internal stability. As leadership speculation grows, questions emerge over Starmer’s authority, party unity, and whether he can survive recent political setbacks. With by-elections looming, Britain’s political future appears increasingly uncertain and deeply divided.
