Sir Keir Starmer will face Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday for the first time since announcing his resignation earlier this week. The outgoing Labour leader is set to take part in the Commons session at midday, with Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham looking set to enter 10 Downing Street within weeks.
Defence Spending Row Takes Centre Stage
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is expected to grill Sir Keir on defence spending amid ongoing wrangling over the defence investment plan that led to John Healey quitting as defence secretary last week. Badenoch has argued that if Burnham is unable to fund the defence spending plan needed to protect Britain, there should be a general election.
