Andy Burnham urged to fund defence now, not rely on 'vibes'

Labour MP Tan Singh Dhesi, chair of the Commons Defence Select Committee, urged the government to commit to spending 3% of GDP on defence by 2030. Burnham responded that his Chancellor, John Healey, was appointed due to his strong commitment to defence spending.
