David Cameron has issued a stark warning of the rising threat of Isis, telling Britons they are a target and they cannot hide from terrorists.

He urged the nation to show its "extraordinary resolve" to fight the growing threat of Islamic terrorism after the number of British feared dead from the murderous attack by a gunman on a Tunisian beach resort is estimated at 30.

"Frankly I don't think you can hide from this threat or think that if you step back somehow you become less of a target," the Prime Minister the Today programme.

"The 'put your head in the sand, try to cut yourself off from the world, think it's impossible to deal with these problems' approach is wrong.

"We can, if we show unity, purpose, resolve and determination work with our allies, use the incredible assets that we have, assert our system of values and democracy and the rest of it, we can beat these people.

"But it does take extraordinary resolve and patience, because this is going to take a very long-time. We have to be in this for the long haul."
