Andy Burnham will have to find an extra £4.7 billion to fund the defence investment plan Sir Keir Starmer announced yesterday. The prime minister blindsided him by pledging £15 billion of spending over the next four years, when the Treasury has only identified £10.3 billion of savings. Defence minister Luke Pollard said he believed the Makerfield MP was only told about the black hole yesterday and warned that hard decisions have to be made. #News #Politics #Burnham #Starmer #C4News
