Healey: I hope Southport killer spends whole life in prison

John Healey has said he hopes the Southport killer will spend the rest of his life behind bars following his sentencing of 52 years in prison.

The defence secretary echoed Keir Starmer's response that "nothing is off the table" in possible reforms to sentencing and preventative procedures concerning attacks.

Speaking at the Rolls-Royce nuclear reactor factory in Derby, Healey announced a £9bn deal for nuclear submarine reactors between the firm and the Ministry of Defence; the biggest ever between the two.

Healey dismissed concerns over Trump's leadership, stating "America has always been the UK's closest security ally".
