Putin threat tops Burnham’s in-tray as he walks into No 10

As Burnham takes office, he's immediately confronted with a significant threat from Putin, raising alarms about the UK's defense capabilities. There's serious concern about the funding for a UK equivalent to Israel's 'Iron Dome' system, which intercepts airborne missiles. This issue highlights broader questions about the UK's readiness to defend against advanced aerial threats, especially given the ongoing geopolitical tensions. It's a critical issue that underscores the need for substantial investment in modern defense technologies.
