It looks like Andy Burnham may have misled Parliament in his very first PMQs.
He told the Commons the Government had committed to spending 3% of GDP on defence by 2030.
Now No 10 says he hasn’t.
If Burnham has to correct the record after his first PMQs, what an utterly embarrassing climbdown that will be.
Not exactly the start he was hoping for.
Its not Maggie whose responsible for Britains shocking decline @andyburnham Its this Bastard.
He didn't get a mention in your speech yesterday did he?
He set our ruin in motion inviting the world to come here, he wanted to rub our noses in diversity and he succeeded.
How are you finding it?
@johnlew13 Still moaning about someone that was Prime Minister 35 years ago, Blair was far worse, and Knob of the North was in his government, remember the Pfi hospitals ,we’re still paying for them.
Labour MP for Hastings just claimed that the loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum is testament to the Labour Government's diplomacy with France.
It was announced in 2018.
Things that are dragging down the country according to Burnham
Thatcher
Brexit
Bond markets
Things that are actually dragging down the country
Highest personal tax in history
Largest welfare state bill in history
Largest civil service headcount in history
Highest energy prices in history
Highest government debt in history
Britain’s biggest problem is too much Government. And their answer to everything… is MORE government
This is the 10 year gilt yield today, a few hours after Andy Burnham’s speech in Parliament.
It’s higher than the ‘Truss spike’.
Why are the mainstream media not accusing him of crashing the economy?
Another Climo scare story ('It was Climate Change wot done it') comes literally crashing to Earth.
No, 'scientists', climate change is not the reason for every Bad Thing that ever happens.

The now-famous photograph of an SAS operator on January 15, 2019. A single member of the UK’s 22 SAS Regiment moving to respond to a terrorist attack on the DusitD2 Hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya.
He was in the country teaching foreign internal defense to Kenyan special forces when al-Shabaab attackers hit the complex, grenades first, then a suicide vest, then gunfire on the guests inside. There was no time to form a proper team and nothing more than the kit he was already wearing.
He entered the compound alone, balaclava on, a shield badge identifying him as law enforcement to those he passed. He joined Dan Prastalo, a Slovenian with the diplomatic protective services, and the two of them started clearing the office block and car-park buildings floor by floor while the attack was still underway.
The siege lasted more than 12 hours before Kenyan forces declared the site secure. 21 civilians died. For what he did that day he later received the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, Britain’s second highest award for gallantry in action. Unusually for a serving SAS soldier, his name eventually became public: Christian Craighead.
One man, on his own, in another country, with no order sending him in and every reason to stay out. He went in anyway.

Maajid Nawaz and Kevin Craig clash over the Government's refusal to release data on migrant crime for @GBNEWS with @MichelleDewbs
Lisa Smart has gone after Nigel Farage over a £5 million donation from Christopher Harborne while staying completely silent on the Liberal Democrats taking around £98 million from donors including Lord Sainsbury and pharmaceutical interests over the past decade.
Andy Burnham's devolution plan will destroy the country.
"Nations and Regions" - pure Communist control.
He doesn't want a functioning state, he wants to rule the ashes.
Right, I’ve put myself through it. So you don’t have to…I already want to chew my own arm off.
Burn’em doubles down on climate change and despite the scientific evidence of seismic activity… blames the Nepal disaster on CLIMATE CHANGE.
And the globalists have their man 💣
