Would Keir Starmer's defence spending plan leave a £5bn shortfall for his successor?

The government announced a defence investment plan with £15bn in new spending. Defence Minister Luke Pollard said the next chancellor must find an extra £4.7bn in the autumn Budget to fund it. Kemi Badenoch claims the plan is £5bn short and that the shortfall was only revealed to Andy Burnham on Tuesday.
