Lib Dems Propose £10,000 Sign-Up Bonus to Bolster UK Military Forces
The UK’s Liberal Democrats have unveiled a proposal to introduce a £10,000 ($13,378) incentive for new military recruits, aiming to strengthen the British Armed Forces amid rising global tensions. The plan, outlined by Lib Dem Leader Sir Ed Davey, is intended as a strategic response to growing threats such as international conflict, cyber-attacks, and the unpredictability of global figures like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Under the scheme, individuals enlisting in the military would receive the bonus after completing their initial training and committing to at least two years of service. The proposal also includes a re-enlistment incentive, offering £20,000 ($26,749)
