Wes Streeting: “Yes. We’ve got a mandate for a five-year Parliament. We were elected on a manifesto, we don’t live in a presidential…”

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.

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

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.

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