00:00Firstly, we should see yesterday's events as performative and irresponsible.
00:08It's not the first time that Russia has behaved like this, and frankly it's the tip of the iceberg
00:13of the daily threats that this country faces and our allies face.
00:19And Russia should be in no doubt about the resolve of this government and this prime minister.
00:24Our resolve to stand against Russian aggression in Ukraine, but also Russian aggression against
00:33all of our allies.
00:35The commitment that the prime minister has given to the defence of our nation is clear
00:44and will be even more clear in the coming months.
00:48I'm absolutely delighted that my friend and predecessor, John Healy, has taken on the
00:54challenge of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his position on defence investment is on the
01:00record, as is mine.
