UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is clearly hiding under the shadows of an unequivocal leader and denies that Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has an influence on him on the aid budget cut. Starmer said during a session on Wednesdays that “She (Badenoch) didn’t feature in my thinking at all.”

Badenoch seems to believe she does. The Tory leader had said “Over the weekend I suggested to the prime minister that he cut the aid budget, and I am pleased that he accepted my advice. It’s the fastest response I’ve ever had from the prime minister.”

This was the Prime Minister’s response;

“I am going to have to let the leader of the opposition down gently. She didn’t feature in my thinking at all. I was so busy over the weekend that I didn’t even see her proposal.”

Starmer refused to give her credit for this and ridiculed her for thinking she did.
The prime minister further criticised her for questioning disparities in the government’s defence budget figures.

“She’s appointed herself, I think, the saviour of Western civilisation. It’s a desperate search for relevance.” He continued, “If you take the numbers for this financial year and then the numbers for financial year 27/28, that’s a £13.4bn increase.” He finally reminds them that “it is the largest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War.”
