“We will put the UK’s own defence industry on a war footing. One of the central lessons of the war in Ukraine is that we need deeper stockpiles of munitions and for industry to be able to replenish them more quickly,” Sunak said at a press conference in Poland alongside NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
Earlier Sunak had warned of the increasing threat to global security but added: “We must not overstate the danger. We’re not on the brink of war, and nor do we seek it.”
