YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We asked Labour's Anneliese Dodds if the UK is spending enough on defence, and she replied they are "really concerned about the situation", noting that when Labour left government in 2010, 2.5% of GDP was being spent on defence.

But she did not say if Labour would return to that level of spending if it wins the next election, saying the party would "conduct a defence and security strategic review".
