Downing Street has insisted RAF Fairford is safe, after the US withdrew all of its bombers from the military base. The Pentagon confirmed on Sunday it had removed its bombers - thought to be about a dozen B-1s - from the base back to their home stations in America. US media reported a new threat led to the bombers being removed, which follows a major incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles near the airbase. A Number 10 spokesperson said he would not comment on foreign nations' military operations, but said the base was safe, and pointed to US President Donald Trump's comments last week, where he praised our police, defence and security services in relation to the base. He added that Defence Secretary Wes Streeting had said last week, we have tried and tested approaches to defend our bases around the country and throughout the world.

It has been criticised by some Jewish groups and Israel's foreign ministry. Asked by BBC Radio 4's Today programme about her future, Lichtenstein said: I haven't decided yet...It is quite possible that I will leave the party...I'm giving it a little time and to talk with colleagues.
