Liberal Democrats are calling on government to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP.

We would raise the digital services tax on tech giants from 2% to 10% as a potential source for the required revenue.

We are also calling on the government to help fund Ukraine ’s defence by seizing frozen Russian assets.

Taken together, Russian assets frozen by the UK and European countries could provide Ukraine with a rescue package of 40 billion worth of support.
