Summary

Kemi Badenoch accuses Keir Starmer of leaving defence spending in a mess for Andy Burnham, but Starmer blames the Tories for underfunding the military when they were in government.  Hugo Rifkind unpacks the exchanges with Patrick Maguire, Stefan Boscia and comedian Alisdair Beckett-King.  You can hear more of Hugo on Times Radio from Monday to Thursday, 10am-1pm.  Hosted on Acast.
