On a trip to Poland, the prime minister said the extra billions will put Britain’s defence industry "on a war footing" – and Nato members cannot expect the US alone to foot the bill for defending the West.

He also announced an extra half a billion pounds of military aid for Ukraine – as well as boats, vehicles, missiles and ammunition.
