Cooper echoed Sir Keir Starmer's comments, calling the act "disgraceful".

The Home Secretary said: "The disgraceful attack on Brize Norton in the early hours of the morning on Friday, June 20, is the latest in a long history of unacceptable criminal damage committed by Palestine Action.

"The UK's defence enterprise is vital to the nation's national security, and this Government will not tolerate those who put that security at risk."

Cooper confirmed that Counter Terrorism Police are conducting a criminal investigation into the attack.
