Will Labour's leadership crisis delay Britain's defence plan AGAIN? Burnham 'wants to decide himself' on spending - but Starmer's team insist it WILL come before PM meets Trump

Labour's leadership turmoil is casting a shadow over Britain's defense spending plans as Andy Burnham, poised to replace Keir Starmer, wants to make unilateral decisions on a crucial multi-billion pound defense package. Burnham's stance contrasts with Starmer's team, who insist the issue will be addressed before the Prime Minister's meeting with Trump. This internal conflict could delay vital defense commitments, potentially affecting national security strategies and international relations. The timing is particularly sensitive given the global geopolitical landscape.
