00:00Today, Keir Starmer will head off to the most important NATO summit in a generation.
00:08Britain has received intelligence that Russia could launch an attack on NATO as soon as 2030.
00:17This could put us in direct conflict with the world's biggest nuclear state.
00:23We could not be facing a more serious situation, and our politics should be reflecting the gravity of this moment.
00:32Every single party in Westminster should be talking about our national security.
00:40Instead, we have the opposite.
00:43Just at a time when Britain needs focus, Westminster has never been more distracted.
00:50We are sending an outgoing Prime Minister to that NATO summit who is completely powerless,
00:56and he is taking with him a defence investment plan which he knows is not fit for purpose
01:03with barely half of the additional funding that our armed forces need.
