Ben Wallace had a foul-mouthed response to reports that Britain has been snubbed as NATO’s rapid-reaction force for an extra year today.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, the defence secretary says it is “bollocks” to suggest Berlin has been asked to remain in charge of the defensive alliance’s force, despite Britain being expected to take leadership of it in 2024.

Citing Paris officials, The Telegraph reports budget cuts to the UK’s military has generated alarm among fellow NATO members.

Concern has been expressed over the condition of Britain’s Armed Forces, with some suggeting the UK has given too much of its own supplies to the war effort in Ukraine.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
