Hard-pressed Brits have been warned to brace themselves for tax rises later this year as Keir Starmer pours money into defence and the NHS and Labour MPs vow to block welfare cuts that would help cover the cost.
The PM will join fellow Nato leaders in The Hague today after signing up to the goal of spending 3.5 per cent of GDP on defence.
Another 1.5 per cent will be committed to related measures such as cyber security, under the package demanded by Donald Trump.
However, ministers have refused to say where the UK will find the extra money - around £30billion on top of existing plans - with Rachel Reeves already scrambling to balance the books.
The announcement today comes after the Chancellor committed tens of billions into trying to improve the NHS in her spending review earlier this month.
