Another member of Sir Keir Starmer's cabinet has jumped ship, with Britain's Defence Secretary John Healey the latest to go. 

He's the sixth minister to resign in the past month. 

Healey's accusing the Prime Minister of putting the UK at risk, with a planned defence spending uplift of just 0.08% of GDP. 

UK Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Francesca Rudkin that Healey's suggesting it won't provide the military equipment needed in a dangerous world. 

He says Starmer's acknowledged Healey's comments but says he doesn't agree - but also hasn't found anyone to replace him yet.
