UK defence secretary resigns, deepening Starmer crisis

John Healey has quit as Britain's defence secretary over a funding dispute, with armed forces minister Al Carns resigning hours later, saying the military is not 'sufficiently funded.' The double resignation lands as a direct torpedo to Keir Starmer's leadership and leaves Dan Jarvis scrambling to fill the role. The chaos was awkward enough to strand Australia's defence minister mid-visit at a Portsmouth naval base.
