The Daily Mail publishes a “Morning Poll” asking readers whether Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham should cut spending on benefits in order to fund defence. The poll question frames the policy trade-off as a choice between social support spending and increased defence spending.

The provided material contains only this polling item and does not include results, supporting evidence, or Burnham-specific statements. As a result, there are no additional perspectives or reported details across other outlets to compare here beyond the existence of the poll question itself.

In this limited dataset, the angle is primarily centered on engaging readers with a hypothetical budget allocation scenario. No figures, legislative proposals, or official defence and welfare budget changes are described in the supplied text.
