New PM Burnham Faces First PMQs Challenge Over UK Taxes and Spending | Dawn News English

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham faced his first Prime Minister’s Questions in Parliament as Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch challenged him over government spending, tax cuts and rising debt costs. Badenoch questioned how the government plans to reduce debt while funding its summer policy promises and lowering the welfare bill. Burnham defended the government’s approach, saying it would remain committed to fiscal responsibility and its fiscal rules while easing cost-of-living pressures. He also defended the government’s defence spending plans, including meeting its NATO commitments by 2035, and condemned a reported Russian attack in Leipzig while expressing solidarity with Germany and Ukraine. #AndyBurnham #KemiBadenoch #PMQs #UKPolitics #UKParliament #BritishPolitics #UKEconomy #DefenceSpending --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
