Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Andy Burnham of 'fiddling while Europe is at risk of burning', as she urged the prime minister to cut the welfare budget to increase spending on defence. Speaking to the Telegraph, Badenoch said that 'Burnham may be a people pleaser, but difficult choices cannot be avoided through dither and delay.' The comments come amid ongoing debates over the UK's defence spending and welfare policies. Badenoch's remarks highlight growing tensions within the government over how to balance fiscal responsibilities with national security concerns. No response from Andy Burnham has been reported at this time.
