Armed forces minister quits after Healey exit as defence funding row deepens

Article excerpt

The UK's armed forces minister quit over military funding, following defence secretary John Healey's departure. Al Carns cited insufficient funding for the military in his resignation. Dan Jarvis has stepped into the defence secretary role as tensions over defence spending intensify within the government. The exits underscore a growing rift between military leadership and the government over budgetary commitments, with Carns explicitly stating the armed forces lack adequate resources.
