Wes Streeting: “The government views the war in Ukraine as the frontline for Europe and the frontline for Britain.”

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.

This world-first access to real battlefield data will allow British companies to continue pushing the frontier of defence innovation, deterring our enemies and making us safer at home as well as further strengthening Ukraine.

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.
