Shadow house sec accuses govt of a ‘dereliction of obligation’ | Middle East struggle

Sky’s Trevor Phillips repeatedly pushes the shadow house secretary on whether or not the Conservative governments between 2010 and 2024 ought to take accountability for the cuts to the British armed forces.

But Chris Philp criticises Sir Keir Starmer and Labour, saying the present prime minister’s failure to deploy warships to the Middle East sooner is a "dereliction of duty".

Defending cuts to the armed forces – he says, "the world I think is arguably a lot more dangerous now than it was even five or 10 years ago".
