The announcement that the British Ministry of Defence made last week, according to which the construction of British submarines will begin next year within the framework of the Aukus agreement with the United States and Australia, has allowed Andy Burnham's executive to claim both national security and industrial policy. This was expressed this Monday by the Treasury Secretary, John Healy, in his speech before the annual Labour Party conference, which is taking place in Liverpool until Wednesday.

New crisis in Keir Starmer's government. British Defence Secretary John Healey resigned this Thursday in disagreement with the government's new military investment plan. Healey accuses Downing Street of not being up to the current geopolitical moment and denounces that the Defence Strategic Review plan has been significantly watered down after months of disputes between Number 10, the Ministry of Defence and the Treasury.
