       Sir Keir Starmer made a speech on his vision for the future of Britain at the Tony Blair institute conference on Tuesday 18 July.

       This video shows a live feed of the conference in full as the Labour leader outlined his five missions for a better Britain.

       Outgoing defence secretary Ben Wallace also attended the conference in London.

       Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Wallace made what could have been his last address in the House of Commons, as he outlined the defence command paper refresh.

       He said that Ukraine had been “an incubator for new ways of war” and that lessons learned on the battlefields of eastern Europe have triggered a shake-up of the UK’s approach to its defence.

       The updated defence command paper sets out plans to speed up the delivery of new kit, even if it is not a “100 per cent solution”, in order to secure a military advantage.

       Mr Wallace said the UK was spending “significantly more” than previously planned on research and development “to stay ahead in the technologies proving themselves vital” in Ukraine, including artificial intelligence, quantum and robotics.
