Wes Streeting said Prime Minister Andy Burnham's appointment of John Healey as Chancellor proved the Armed Forces have a 'firm friend' in the Treasury.

Andy Burnham has taken an axe to Keir Starmer's Cabinet and invited his own allies into Number 10 on his first day as Prime Minister.

Andy Burnham carried on where Sir Keir Starmer left off on defence spending today - by failing to pledge any additional funding.
