Description
Defence dominated a fiery return to PMQs as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch took on Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a war of words, seizing on criticism from former Labour defence secretary and NATO secretary general Lord Robertson over what he calls “complacency” on military spending.
Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg react to the PM being pressed on defence investment plans as he says his military advisers are wrong to call him complacent, all while the British Army has shrunk to its smallest size in centuries.
And an exclusive poll for The Telegraph suggests Labour could lose control of Wales for the first time since devolution, potentially falling to third place behind Plaid Cymru and Reform UK.
