Labour on defence, Lamine Yamal lights up Euros and are Britain's finances broken? | The Daily T

Sir Keir Starmer has jetted off on his first overseas trip as Prime Minister - to the NATO summit in Washington. But it all comes as he committed to an ‘ironclad guarantee’ to raise defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP, but refused to say when.

There’s also the small matter of the public finances being in ‘the worst state since World War 2’ according to Rachel Reeves. So how do we pay for it? Kamal and Camilla speak to Carl Emmerson from the Institute for Fiscal Studies to ask that very question.
