Wes Streeting: “That takes extraordinary courage, and the NHS owes them an enormous debt of gratitude.”

In the dangerous and turbulent world we find ourselves in, investment in defence is a price worth paying.

Yes, we have to, because the US doesn’t support it.

I also want to state personally my enormous thanks to our police, our counter-terrorism police, emergency services and the security services for their hard work to defend our base at RAF Fairford.

More importantly, we would be wrong to prepare only to fight a current war.
