Wes Streeting: “Where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift.”

We cannot afford to make the cliched mistake of fighting the last war.

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.

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

We can be reassured that this is being dealt with.
