Andy Burnham just told Kemi Badenoch ‘national security cannot come at the expense of social security’ 💬
Is he right to shy away from cutting welfare to fund defence? 🪖
Give us your #PMQs three word reviews here ✍️
@itvpeston.bsky.social
@signoramac.bsky.social2 women were assaulted not just one. Not one question raised about this at #PMQs 😢
@zero-4.bsky.socialKemi Badenoch seems completely comfortable with removing all welfare, leaving many destitute and instead using it for defence spending
Wonder how many of those would feel passionate about defending a country that has just abandoned them
@neverevertory.wsocial.euEd Davey raises concerns about AI & the risks it poses to national security.
Burnham agrees AI could pose a threat to security, but insists there could also be benefits.
@delbert07.bsky.socialNot sure anyone has noticed but Andy Burnham rather likes the North West !
#PMQs #labourparty Wonder if he has realised that areas like Gainsbourgh , Boston , Scunthorpe are equally screwed - as is Barnstaple , Biddeford etc - #Number10 #number10north
@zero-4.bsky.socialKemi Badenoch attempting (for the second week in a row) to take the moral high ground on defence spending
Her political amnesia is weapons grade
@paulhindley2210.bsky.socialIt’s a miracle! Finally, a Prime Minister prepared to support social security and condemn homelessness, while also condemning illegal Israeli settlements.
In regard to welfare and Israel-Palestine, Burnham is anything but continuity Keir. Whisper it quietly, but he might be a social democrat… #PMQs
@scouselakes.bsky.socialBurnham is being pretty impressive at #pmqs, I have to say.
@neverevertory.wsocial.euEd Davey raises issue of Musgrove Park maternity ward, leaking roofs, ceilings propped up by poles & temperatures putting newborn babies at risk
Burnham stated It points to systemic challenge facing maternity wards across country & Health Secretary will be chairing the Maternity taskforce
@louisalane.bsky.socialAm very much in favour of Andy Burnham's request for cross party solutions. Would love to see scheduled meetings with party leaders and a full report of who turned up and their contributions.

@bobjim.bsky.socialBeen listening to #PMQs on the radio. Eye-candy Andy sounding like a novice contestent on Radio 4's Just A Minute; desperately straining for every word he stiltingly utters.
Shambles.
@paulusthewoodgnome.bsky.socialSomething of which no one could ever accuse the Israeli government... 🙄
"The decision of the Labour government constitutes a gross interference in the electoral process of a sovereign state in the midst of an election campaign."
Gideon Sa'ar, Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister
@louisep.bsky.socialKemi Badenoch failing to get any sort of rise out of Andy Burnham. She must be furious.
He’s playing it well.
