Badenoch Warns Starmer to Cut Welfare and Boost Defence or Face Resignation Calls
Sky News — Politics—Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to slash welfare spending and accelerate defence funding to meet NATO commitments, framing Labour's current trajectory as a 'major threat' to Britain's national security. Badenoch said Starmer should resign if he fails to honour his word on defence spending targets. The exchange reflects the widening political gap between the two parties ahead of local elections.
