The former head of GCHQ is warning UK defence will decline if Theresa May does not take part in the wider European defence plan post-Brexit.

Robert Hannigan also questioned whether the UK would be able to afford to spend enough on defence.

"If our economy shrinks we will be able to afford less," he added.
