Wes Streeting: “We need a new special relationship with the EU, because Britain’s future lies with Europe, and one day – one day – back…”

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.

I do want to say that our friendship with America is the closest alliance of any two nations on earth, and we will always stand together against those who hate our freedom and those who wish us harm.

We are grateful for the vigilance of the members of the public.

As and when we can, we will report back to the public about these individuals and about the nature of the threat.
