She highlights that Labour’s promised 15 billion-pound defense boost is only half-funded, sparking resignations and alarm — even prompting a former defense secretary to quit over troop safety fears. Badenoch accuses Keir Starmer of being powerless and criticizes Andy Burnham for prioritizing a summer break over urgent national security duties. She also takes aim at Nigel Farage, calling out his financial scandals as distractions from real threats. Badenoch is demanding Burnham return to Parliament immediately to answer tough questions before the recess — before it’s too late.
