"British defences lack the ability to shoot down ballistic missiles, they have claimed, and the systems that they do have are out at sea, and in numbers too small to be fully effective."
"On Sunday morning, senior government minister Steve Reed stressed that Britain was safe, as he called Israel's threat exaggerated and an attempt to garner support for the war."
"Hours later, a Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesperson doubled down on Mr Reed's comments, stating that the country had the resources to keep the United Kingdom safe from any kind of attacks."
