URGENT: UK Faces Invasion Threat Without Defenses, MPs Warn

Breaking News: UK Faces Invasion Threat Without Defenses, MPs Warn The UK is at risk of a military invasion without a proper defense plan in place, a committee of MPs has warned. The defense committee, led by Labour MP Tan Dhesi, has criticized the government for being over-reliant on US resources and lacking preparations to defend the country and its overseas territories. The UK's defense capabilities are "nowhere near" where they need to be, according to the committee. This comes as the Ministry of Defence identifies areas where six or more new munitions factories could be built. The government plans to invest 1.5 billion pounds to support the construction of these factories, which will be built by private contractors. The UK's defense secretary, John Healey, is set to confirm plans to restart the country's munitions production capacity in a speech on Wednesday. This move aims to establish an "always on" production capacity that can be scaled up quickly in response to a threat. The warning from the defense committee comes after Putin's invasion of Ukraine and repeated incursions into European airspace. The committee's chair, Tan Dhesi, has urged the government to take immediate action to address the UK's defense vulnerabilities. This is a developing story, with further details and reactions expected in the coming hours and days. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
