Tories will ‘help pass cuts for defence’
Western Daily Press
|June 16, 2026
KEMI Badenoch offered Sir Keir Starmer the votes of Tory MPs to pass welfare cuts through Parliament to pay for defence spending.
-
‘The Prime Minister should resign if he cannot prove that the long-delayed defence investment plan will “protect our national security’, Kemi Badenoch has said.
The Conservative leader also offered to lend the votes of her MPs to Sir Keir Starmer, or another prime minister should he lose a leadership challenge, to pass welfare cuts through Parliament to pay for defence hikes.
Plans to increase defence spending over the long-term were thrown into disarray last week when John Healey resigned as defence secretary.
