Government plan to build munitions factories to ‘better deter our adversaries'
The Government has pledged £1.5 billion as part of the strategic defence review (SDR) to set up at least six factories, and will support the procurement of up to 7,000 UK-built long-range weapons. The announcement responds to the SDR's call for an 'always on' munitions production capacity that could be scaled up quickly. Mr Healey said: 'The hard-fought lessons from (Russian president Vladimir) Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine show a military is only as strong as the industry that stands behind them. 'We are strengthening the UK's industrial base to better deter our adversaries and make the UK secure at home and strong abroad. 'We will embrace the strategic defence review, making defence an engine for economic growth and boosting skilled jobs in every nation and region as part of our Government's plan for change.' According to the Ministry of Defence, the new funding will see UK munitions spend hit £6 billion during this Parliament. It will support around 1,800 jobs throughout the country. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said: 'A strong economy needs a strong national defence, and investing in weaponry and munitions and backing nearly 2,000 jobs across Britain in doing so is proof the two go hand-in-hand. 'We are delivering both security for working people in an uncertain world and good jobs, putting more money in people's pockets as part of our plan for change.' Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer launched the SDR last year, with its recommendations due to be published in the coming days. In addition to its call for an 'always on' munitions production capacity, the Ministry of Defence will be urged to lay the industrial foundations for an uplift in munitions stockpiles to meet the demand of 'high-tempo' warfare. Also as part of its response to the SDR, the Government has unveiled more than £1.5 billion in extra funding for military homes. The cash will be spent on urgent repairs such as fixing boilers and roofs, and other issues including tackling damp. 'Our forces make extraordinary sacrifices to keep us safe and to serve this country and yet for years, we've forced their families to live in substandard homes,' Mr Healy said on a visit to military accommodation in Cambridgeshire. The Conservatives criticised the investment in munitions factories as too slow. Shadow defence secretary James Cartlidge said: 'It's a bit rich of Labour to talk about 'always on' munitions production when procurement has been largely switched off for the past year. 'Rachel Reeves has deliberately used the SDR to put an effective freeze on new orders for the kit our military needs. 'Of course, we welcome investment in new munitions factories, but we don't know when they will be ready, only that these orders should have been placed months ago. 'Ultimately, we need to see greater ambition for the pace and scale of rearmament our armed forces require, given the threats we face and the need to replace inventory gifted to Ukraine. 'That means 3% of GDP by the end of this parliament, and Labour properly prioritising defence spending – instead of seeking to outspend Reform on welfare.'

At least 81 arrested in Paris as violence erupts during PSG's Champions League victory
At least 81 people have been arrested violent clashes in Paris after huge crowds of fans gathered to watch PSG's victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final. The club's Parc des Princes stadium was transformed into a fan zone for the night to screen the match, which took place in Munich, with about 48,000 attending. Footage on social media appears to show police armed with batons clashing with people, close to where thousands of fans had congregated. Several fires were ignited near the stadium in the French capital and fire brigades were dispatched to multiple locations to tackle the blazes. Local media said the police detained at least 81 people. France's interior minister, Bruno Retailleau, wrote on social media: 'True PSG fans are getting excited about their team's magnificent performance. Meanwhile, barbarians have taken to the streets of Paris to commit crimes and provoke law enforcement. 'I have asked the internal security forces to react vigorously to these abuses. I offer my support to the Police Prefect and all the police officers who are ensuring everyone's safety this evening. 'It is unbearable that it is not possible to party without fearing the savagery of a minority of thugs who respect nothing.' About 5,400 police were deployed across the city for the post-match celebrations, with officers on the Champs-Élysées using teargas and pepper spray to maintain order. A police spokesperson said a car was set alight near the Parc des Princes and several dozen arrests had been made by the time the match ended, Reuters reported. Traffic around the Arc de Triomphe was blocked from midday with the Champs-Élysées boulevard and nearby streets also closed on Saturday evening. Earlier, in Munich, PSG and Inter Milan supporters threw stones at each other at Fröttmaning station while travelling to the Allianz arena for the final, Bild reported. They also caused travel disruption by making their way on to train tracks, according to reports. PSG's win over Arsenal in the semi-final on 7 May sparked unrest in Paris, with 47 people arrested and three others injured after being hit by a car.
