Kemi Badenoch has warned that John Healey's budget could do more damage than both of Rachel Reeves's if the chancellor does not cut spending. In a London speech, the Conservative leader called for welfare cuts to fund raising defence spending to 3% of GDP. She said delaying that decision until next autumn would be unconscionable, and mocked Andy Burnham's crackdown on loud music on trains.
