@Greyrock79

Welfare before defence said Burnham, remember?

What help is welfare if the UK is nuked?

Forget strategic nuclear weapons.

What help is it if we continue to face the kind of hybrid/grey warfare in which Putin is currently engaged.

People would do well to read the full statement. Context is everything.

The right hon. Lady mentions the plan that she has set out, and this is why I say that we should have an honest conversation across the Dispatch Box; I looked at it, and I do not think that taking £4 billion out of housing benefit is going to get the right consensus around this issue. That would create levels of homelessness in this country that we would not have seen before, with hundreds of thousands of children in temporary accommodation.

I say to the right hon. Lady that, yes, we do everything to support our national security, but it cannot come at the expense of social security. Having strong national security also depends on resilience in our communities. We on the Labour Benches will not be forced to choose between the two, and we will set out a plan to get to 3.5% by 2035 at the spending review

Semantics.

The message to the back bench constituents was clear. We all heard it.

It isn’t semantics. What he actually said and your translation are completely different.

Agree it's not semantics - they are struggling with simple comprehension.

Yes, a lot of people just couldn"t get over Brexit for some reason, ask them how it has affected them and you usually get a blank silence until they think of something that happened to someone else that they read about somewhere.
