Ahead of Tuesday’s summit in Ankara, Nato chief Mark Rutte has called on allies to continue giving Ukraine the support it needs – along with “clear and credible” plans to commit 3.5% of GDP to defence spending.
The Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis wants Andy Burnham to set out how he will reach that target when, as expected, he takes over as prime minister.
But Jarvis wouldn’t reveal whether he’s spoken to Burnham in person yet.
