Sir Keir Starmer has used a major speech at the Munich Security Conference to assert that the UK has moved past the introspection of the Brexit era.

He announced the deployment of a carrier strike group to the North Atlantic and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to NATO’s collective defence principles.
