Tackling child poverty is a moral duty. That’s why I’m ending the two child limit - so every child has the chance to thrive. This will lift hundreds of thousands out of poverty and help break the cycle of disadvantage for good.

Today’s Budget is about taking fair choices. It will focus on your priorities: cutting the cost of living, cutting waiting lists and cutting the national debt. This Labour government will deliver strong foundations for our economy and secure our country’s future.

Cold canvass in Goldthorpe this morning, with this great group of #UKLabour volunteers …big ‘thank you’ to them, and to the residents who gave us their time and views

Farage needs to urgently launch an independent investigation into his party to weed out any links to Russia.

In this new era of threat, it’s Labour that is the party of defence.

Be in no doubt, we live in a new era of threat. A Russian spy ship, the Yantar, returned to UK waters and directed lasers at our pilots. Our government will always do what’s needed to defend Britain, and our Armed Forces stand ready to deter.

The Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP this morning confirmed that a Russian spy ship – the Yantar – is on the edge of UK waters, north of Scotland, having entered the UK’s wider waters over the last few weeks. This is a vessel used for gathering intelligence and mapping

Today the MOD is announcing 13 potential sites for new munitions factories. We will build at least six of those in this Parliament creating 1,000 jobs and proving, yet again, that with this Labour Government defence is an engine for growth 🇬🇧

Mission ready and now under @NATO command, this is HMS Prince of Wales calling 📞 #NATOFirst #WeAreNATO

Alongside @YvetteCooperMP in Naples marking a historic moment. @HMSPWLS and our Carrier Strike Group – fully mission ready with advanced F-35s – are under @NATO command. The UK is stepping up, deterring threats, and defending European security. This is ‘NATO-first’ in action.

I am hugely grateful to the Irish authorities, the @RNLI, @RoyalAirForce and @RoyalNavy who have responded rapidly to this incident and have worked tirelessly on the search.

After an extensive search, it is with deep sadness that we confirm the missing crew member of RFA TIDESURGE has not been found. My thoughts are with their family during this tragic time, as well as their fellow crew members.

Right now, our Armed Forces with our @NATO allies are working to keep Europe safe – often unseen, often unheard, often unrecognised. Together we are stepping up our defence 👇

At the eleventh hour this morning, we paused in silence to remember those who gave their tomorrows for our today. In a new era of threat, we must never forget those who continue to serve and who have served and died to keep our country safe. #ArmisticeDay

Why we remember. From those who serve. #LestWeForget

A humbling and moving honour to receive the @PoppyLegion Cenotaph Parade of veterans and their families – thousands strong – with His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh today. We strive to serve you, as you have served us. #Remembrance

To those who have served in our Armed Forces, and to those who continue to do so, as a nation today we give our thanks, we pay our respects and we strive to serve you as you have served us. #LestWeForget

Today: 2,000 troops & 50 helicopters from the 🇬🇧, 🇫🇷, and 🇺🇸 are training for NATO ops on Ex Pinion Titan. Tomorrow: They will pause to remember those who came before them. #Remembrance

Good job @UkraineSol and @GMB_union
