    Starmer mocks Badenoch’s ‘desperate search for relevance’ in clash over defence spending boost: PMQs live

    Kemi Badenoch has appointed herself “saviour of the western civilisation”, Sir Keir Starmer said, after the Conservative leader suggested she had advised him to increase defence spending.

    In a clash at PMQs, the prime minister said she “didn’t feature in my thinking at all” and that her comment was a “desperate search for relevance”.

    Sir Keir Starmer has faced questions from MPs after his shock announcement the government will increase the UK’s defence spending to 2.5 per cent, before a meeting with Donald Trump in Washington DC.

    He reiterated his stance that Ukraine “must be at the table” in negotiations to end the war with Russia, and reiterated that the UK and the US had a “special deep relationship”.

    Defence secretary John Healey insisted that the US president’s demands were not the sole reason for the increase, stating: “I was with Sir Keir Starmer back in April last year in Barrow when we made the commitment to increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of what this country produces.”
