Re Labour, it was notable that post Ukraine invasion they were pushing HMG to up defence spending and emphasised that any increase would be supported by them - indeed they criticised the govt for not coming forward with an increase this year. Of course words are cheap when you're in opposition, but I'd agree with others that it's not simply a case of "Tories good, Labour bad" when it comes to defence spending. The Cameron administration was particularly bad.
