Security PM frames election as 'who do you trust to keep you safe?"

The prime minister said he would frame the Conservatives as the party of the future, but also defended its record over the previous 14 years and said Starmer's "past actions" meant the Labour leader would not be able to keep the country safe.

The attacks drew a rebuff from Starmer: "This is the seventh reset in 18 months. I know firsthand the importance of national security ... but for that to happen you need a credible plan. What's his record? He's hollowed out our armed forces.

He's wasted billions of pounds on procurement." In a wide-ranging speech at the Policy Exchange thinktank, Sunak rejected the opportunity to name an election date but said he would debate Starmer "as many times as he ikes", adding: "Keir Starmer's gone From embracing Jeremy Corbyn to Natalie Elphicke, all in the cynical Oursuit of power at any price."
