Ex-defence ministers ‘wrong’ to warn UK unprepared for war, Oliver Dowden claims
Two former defence ministers are wrong to say the UK is unprepared for the possibility of war, Oliver Dowden has said.

His former boss, , echoed his sentiments, suggesting some in are “just hoping” threats to the UK “will go away”.
