Kemi Badenoch: Cut Welfare & Don't Raise Taxes To Fund Defence | Jeremy Vine

How should the UK pay for increased defence spending? As pressure grows on Britain to strengthen its armed forces and meet NATO commitments, politicians are increasingly divided over where the money should come from. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has urged the government to cut what she calls a "bloated" welfare bill rather than raise taxes. Others argue that national security is important enough to justify higher taxation if it means a stronger military and better defence capabilities. So what's the fairest solution? Should benefits be cut to fund defence? Should taxes rise? Should government spending be reduced elsewhere? Or does Britain simply need to borrow more?
