Summary

Camilla and Tim are joined by Al Carns, the former armed forces minister who followed his boss John Healey in resigning last week over Keir Starmer’s inadequate Defence Investment Plan. Elsewhere, they also interview Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who offers to help Andy Burnham cut welfare spending to fund defence if he becomes Prime Minister. She also says the Government’s social media ban for under 16s only happened thanks to amendments made by Conservative politicians.
