KEMI Badenoch branded Andy Burnham a “people pleaser” and not a leader in their first PMQs face-off today.
The Conservative Party leader tore into the PM for wanting to spend more on welfare despite not having a spending plan.
Mr Burnham also failed to rule out raising taxes when he was pressed by the Tory leader on whether he would hike them.
Ms Badenoch said: “I think it’s delightful that he wants to make everyone happy but a Prime Minister needs to be a leader, not a people-pleaser.”
She later told the Prime Minister the “honeymoon is over” and urged him to “ditch the vibes” and find money for defence spending.
