I am supporting the PM today because he has delivered Brexit, the fastest vaccine roll-out in Europe,
he is leading the international effort against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and he received an overwhelming mandate from the British people at the last General Election.

💉 8 weeks and 1 day after the first person was vaccinated, 10 million Brits have had their first jab. A phenomenal effort. 👏
10 MILLION people have now received their first dose of the COVID vaccine.
This is a hugely significant milestone in our national effort against this virus.
Every jab makes us all a bit safer - I want to thank everyone playing their part

Agree with the need to speed up the defence procurement process and provide the taxpayer with the best value for money; but we must retain and enhance our sovereign defence capability.
