I think over the next 18 months to two years, it's going to influence all of our foreign policy debates, and that means we in the Foreign Office have to adapt.
As foreign states increasingly seek to back threats on our streets, we are cracking down on those who try to undermine our country and its security.
Of course it’s not easy. I really did not think it was possible to win the election when I came back into the shadow cabinet in 2022. It’s only because of what Keir did that we managed to win.
I do agree that actually that was not highlighted in the priorities in February. That is a reflection of the pace at which this is moving, and this is me looking forward and thinking this is going to shape everything that we do.
