We must never forget the names of those weโ€™ve lost. In this yearโ€™s Remembrance debate I remembered those I served alongside, and were lost, in Sangin on Operation Herrick 11. 3RIFLES Battlegroup suffered the heaviest casualties of any British Battlegroup since the Korean War.

Just because Keir Starmer is paranoid doesnโ€™t mean theyโ€™re not after him. But with a potentially disastrous Budget only two weeks away, No.10 is busier briefing against its own Cabinet than dealing with their own disastrous handling of the economy. These arenโ€™t serious people.

The Infantry is in disarray over its replacement of Warrior with Ares and Boxer. Within the next 18 months we will no longer have an armoured infantry capability. The decision to use Ares in an infantry role was only taken in July, and there arenโ€™t enough to realistically equip

A moment to reflect. Remembrance Sunday is always a moving occasion, as we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have today. For me personally it is always a time to remember those I served alongside in Afghanistan with the 3RIFLES

Under Labour there have been five prisoners released in error every week. What did David Lammy know about these missing prisoners when he refused to answer questions at PMQs? Weโ€™re now firmly into resignation territory for the Justice Secretary.

Between Labour taking power and the end of March 193 prisoners were released in error. Thatโ€™s 5 a week. At that rate there have likely been 150 prisoners released in error since April. There have likely been more released in error this week than just the Wandsworth two.

โ€œOne cabinet minister said of Lammyโ€™s behaviour: โ€œItโ€™s cowardly. He should have fronted up and owned it.โ€ Even David Lammyโ€™s Cabinet colleagues have sensed that thereโ€™s blood in the water. Itโ€™s easy to see now why Keir Starmer demoted him, but is there further to fall?

David Lammy claims he didnโ€™t know about the prisoner release error until Wednesday morning, when he also claims he was out buying a suit (which fits suspiciously well for off-the-peg). Government officials have briefed that he was made aware on Tuesday afternoon. Whoโ€™s lying?
