Streeting resigned his own post as Health Secretary in May, and has said he would run in a future race to replace Keir Starmer as Labour leader and Prime Minister.
The former Health Secretary explains what these resignations and the challenges that caused them mean for the UK's ability to defend itself, and for the future of Keir Starmer's government.
The interview excerpt featured here is taken from an hour-long conversation with Wes Streeting which will publish next week.
