TL;DR Summary

Kemi Badenoch grills Keir Starmer at PMQs over the defence investment plan, accusing him of leaving a £5bn funding shortfall for Andy Burnham to cover; Starmer defends the plan as a £300bn, four-year upgrade—the largest defence increase in 40 years—funded by identified savings and headroom from the Budget, as Ed Davey pushes for a stronger missile defence.
