National security “can’t come at the expense of social security”, the Prime Minister has insisted, as he criticised Tory plans to fund defence. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch used Andy Burnham’s second Prime Minister’s Questions to question whether the Government would reach 3% for defence funding by 2030, insisting there were “serious threats to national security that cannot wait”. Mr Burnham hit back, insisting the Conservatives’ plan to fund defence by cutting housing benefits would create mass homelessness. Speaking with Former Senior Military Intelligence Officer Philip Ingram MBE, Talk's Julia Hartley-Brewer says: "The idea that you can't tackle one to help fund the other is frankly absurd and I would say irresponsible!" #andyburnham #labour #juliahartleybrewer #talk Have you got a story?
