Sky's Trevor Phillips repeatedly pushes the shadow home secretary on whether the Conservative governments between 2010 and 2024 should take responsibility for the cuts to the British armed forces.

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