We shouldn’t be surprised that Labour won’t match our £75 billion defence spending uplift when Starmer supported Jeremy Corbyn and 11 of his current front bench voted against Trident.

Today we’ve expelled Russia’s defence attaché who has been working as an intelligence officer for Putin in the UK. We will not tolerate Putin’s efforts to undermine our nation and democracy and will continue to stand up for freedom here and in Ukraine.

On #VEDay we remember the bravery and sacrifice of the Greatest Generation. This year we commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day and recall the extraordinary events which led to the liberation of Western Europe. We must never forget the price paid for our freedom and values.

One year ago thousands of members of the Armed Forces were deployed as part of the King’s coronation. Today we’ve celebrated the first anniversary of that day with gun salutes across the country 🇬🇧

. @HMSDiamond has made history in the Red Sea 🇬🇧 Most targets shot down in a day ever by a Royal Navy ship. 🇬🇧 First to shoot down a missile since 1991. 🇬🇧 First to fire in anger for over 30 years. Proving the @RoyalNavy ’s strength & formidability against threats to the UK.

Iran is responsible for much regional instability thru' their illegal network of terror proxies: Hamas, Hezbollah & Houthis + Iran linked militias + their direct attacks. So, if Iran thinks that these latest sanctions will intimidate anyone then they’re completely misguided.

65,000 That’s how many Ukrainians are fighting on the frontline, after being trained here in the UK. From battlefield accounts we know the pivotal impact this effort has had time and again in creating the lethal fighting force Ukraine needs to hold back Putin’s criminal…

Only by increasing defence spending to 2.5% by 2030 can we invest billions to improve military housing. Labour refusing to match this makes it impossible for them to claim any credible plan for improvement - with their defence cuts putting critical housing projects at risk.

Horrific news after this morning’s attack. Like all parents, my thoughts are with those affected and their families. The rapid response of our police and emergency responders is a reminder of the immense bravery and service they display every day.

We’re rearming Britain with billions to keep munitions production always on in British factories. Storm Shadows like this, that have had devastating impacts in Ukrainian hands, will give the UK the overwhelming strike capabilities we need to keep you safe.

This is the UK’s Storm Shadow production line - where we’re building the missiles that have been so devastating in Ukrainian hands.  It’s factories like this that we’ve put on a war footing this week by injecting billions into the stockpiles we need to deter a new axis.

This week has proven that only the @Conservatives will put our national defence first. We’ve taken unprecedented action to launch the greatest strengthening of our Armed Forces since the Cold War.  In a more dangerous world this is the right plan.
