# UK Armed Forces minister, Al Carns, has resigned hours after the resignation of Defence Secretary John Healey over a dispute about military funding. He is the seventh minister in prime minister Keir Starmer’s government to step down in the past month. In his resignation letter, Carns argued that the defence investment plan is not built for the threat the world faces, and is neither transformative enough nor sufficiently funded. He added that a strong country is not simply one with capable armed forces, but one where working people feel economically secure.
