| In the video, which appears to have been released by the group's Raqqa-based media arm, the alleged spies are shown wearing orange jumpsuits and "confessing" to spying on behalf of the UK security services. | |
| Later in the 10-minute video they are shown kneeling on the ground before five executioners, as a militant speaking in a British accent says they have been "abandoned" by the British government. | |
| The masked gunman can be heard saying: "This is a message to David Cameron," who he describes as an "imbecile" and "slave of the White House". | |
| The militant compares the Prime Minister to "arrogant and foolish" predecessors Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, and adds that "you children will pay for your deeds". | |
| The video, which cannot be independently verified, ends with a trailer for a further execution and a brief clip of a young child, wearing militant garb and speaking with a British accent, appearing to say: "We will kill them over there." | |
