Tory leadership contender says views of activists, members and friends who lost seats after giving everything to campaign' matter

Ukraine must decide for itself whether it uses Britain's storm shadow missiles to strike military targets inside Russia, Keir Starmer has said.

The prime minister said the long range missiles should be used for defensive purposes but that Kyiv would make its own decisions on targeting.

We're obviously providing military aid, that is obviously to be used in accordance with international humanitarian law as you would expect.

It is for defensive purposes but it is for Ukraine to decide how to deploy it for those defensive purposes. I'm not going to get into a discussion here as you'd imagine on targeting, that wouldn't be appropriate, but that is the position.

I'm delighted to be returning to the Department for Education. There are real challenges facing our schools and I am looking forward to being part of a renewed drive to ensure that we tackle these with bold and fresh new ideas, to deliver high and rising standards in every corner of the country.

Sir Kevan has been an outstanding force for good in schools, especially his work advocating for our teachers and children during the pandemic and he will play a crucial role in advising the department.
