In a high-intensity session at the House of Commons dispatch box, Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Andy Burnham, accusing him of "doing Russia's dirty business" by making controversial podcast comments about Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum.

Badenoch cited criticisms from MI5 Chief Sir Ken McCallen, questioning whether the Prime Minister undermined national security or spoke without thinking. Prime Minister Burnham fiercely hit back, accusing the Conservatives of burying their heads in the sand over the Russia Report during their decade in power and defending his resolve to tackle foreign electoral interference transparently. The heated PMQs exchange also saw sharp clashes over North Sea oil and gas drilling (Rosebank and Jackdaw), upcoming budget welfare reform, and the timeline for raising UK defense spending to 3% of GDP ahead of Burnham's high-stakes afternoon bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
