On the Defensive: Questions Over Sunak's Military Spending Pledge
Listen now
Description
The Prime Minister wants to spend more on defence, but do his numbers add up? We discuss the cost of Rishi Sunak's Warsaw pledge with Ben Zaranko from the Institute for Fiscal Studies. While the PM's away, it was the turn of Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden and Labour's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner to fill in at PMQs, which featured jibes about living arrangements, rental market reforms and a nod to next week's local elections. Hosted by Yuan Potts and Stephen Carroll.
