Britain faces strike action from exhausted healthcare workers angry at a “pitiful” 1% pay rise despite winning praise for treating thousands of coronavirus patients.
Their frustration comes as a new study shows the UK government has increased spending on the military to $61.5-billion last year, up from $54.8-billion in 2019.
The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) said this means Britain now has the fourth-largest defence budget in the world, ahead of Russia, France and Germany.
Russia is 70 times the size of the UK and has more than twice as many inhabitants.
The IISS said the Russian defence budget for 2020 was $60.6-billion, down $1-billion from 2019.
