The Prime Minister has said the West is “working hard” to avoid war with Russia and he “doesn’t think it will come to that”.

It comes after the Head of the Army, General Sir Patrick Sanders said the UK needed to prepare for war.

Boris Johnson said it was investing more money into the UK armed services and was “working together” with other EU countries.

In a wide-ranging interview with Sky’s Dominic Waghorn, the Prime Minister also gave his thoughts on a potential second Scottish referendum.

However he would not be pressed on any issues surrounding his leadership, saying it was matters for “commentators”.
