Tory MP Tobias Ellwood has claimed that "the world will be at war rather than World War Three" as he urged Brits to "be in a better space."

It comes as Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has said that we are “moving from a post-war to a pre-war world.”

General Sir Patrick Sanders, Britain’s most senior army officer, called for an increase in the size of the army and said that the country needed to increase preparedness for conflict.
