John Healey resigned as defence secretary last week, accusing Sir Keir Starmer of failing to properly fund the Defence Investment Plan (Dip).
In a letter to the PM, Healey said the Prime Minister had been "unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats".
The Dip, originally called for by the Strategic Defence Review almost exactly a year ago, has been long delayed by wrangling over funding.
Some say Healey’s resignation is arguably the worst crisis faced by the Prime Minister.
