deal: The cabinet minister, who is increasingly keen to talk up Brexit at a time when a deal is elusive, is expected to say leaving the EU will allow the UK to consider how we not only project but maximise our influence around the world in the months and years to come . Japanese PM implores Britain not to leave EU without a deal Read more Williamson is expected to conclude Brexit has brought us to a great moment in our history, according to The Guardian. A moment when we must strengthen our global presence, enhance our lethality and increase our mass. Gavin Williamson intends to argue in a speech at the Royal United Services Institute on Monday that a post-Brexit UK should redefine its role as a global power prepared to intervene against countries that flout international law backed up by new military technologies and capabilities. Allies of the minister indicated that Williamson would detail new technologies to spell out what he meant by boosting the lethality of the armed forces, stemming from a belief that future threats are more likely to come from well-resourced states rather than Islamist or other terrorist groups. The defence secretary wants the UK to step up its presence in Asia with a new military base a generation after Harold Wilson retreated from east of Suez and will confirm that the first of Britain's next-generation aircraft carriers, the Queen Elizabeth, will tour the Pacific as part of its maiden voyage in around 2021. Russia is resurgent rebuilding its military arsenal and Nato must develop its ability to handle the kind of provocations that Russia is throwing at us the minister will say nearly a year after the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, which Moscow is widely suspected of orchestrating.
