Keir Starmer: “I have the highest respect for the individuals that you have quoted, but I don’t agree. These are hard-edged decisions…”

And, I’m very proud of that. So I shall walk out with pride.

Ukraine in many senses is the defining cause of our time because this is a fight about the values of democracy and freedom that are hugely important to the United Kingdom.

I will now focus on other things and that will be international affairs including defence, security, trade and technology in a fast-changing world.

Throughout this conflict, I have seen the incredible fortitude of the Ukrainian people and the iron will of a nation that refuses to be cowed.
