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.

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

Things are moving at warp speed. We have to be ready for space at the next battleground, and we are.
