And so I’m here to work with international partner nations to deepen our economic resilience, to deliver good growth and also to give families and businesses just a bit of breathing space.

I am confident Labour can honour a commitment to increase defence spending and make the decisions that allow us to set out a long-term plan to make our forces better equipped to fight and to deter the threats we face.
