The UK will stand united on Ukraine for as long as it takes to win.

Today I pressed the government on progress with the G7 to seize and repurpose frozen Russian state assets to support Ukraine’s reconstruction.

It’s time for change in - and Labour is ready to deliver.

John Healey MP and I visited the Ending Homelessness Together project at Mike Jackson House to discuss how a Labour Government can better support our veterans.

The Tories are failing our Forces and their families daily – allowing over 21,000 maintenance appointments at service accommodation to be missed.

In Government, Labour will tackle the poor state of defence housing to ensure homes fit for heroes.

The agonies of the Palestinians in Gaza are extreme.

Humanitarian help must flood into their hands - and we pay tribute to UK Armed Forces for getting aid into Gaza.

We need an immediate ceasefire now, hostages released now and unimpeded aid into Gaza now.

Proud to see our Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Royal Navy sailors continuing to play a key role in getting much needed aid into Gaza.

We thank our UK Forces for their total professionalism in carrying out important work in the Middle East.

Great be in Aldershot with our excellent parliamentary candidate Alex Baker and Rushmoor Labour Group Leader Gareth Williams to speak with residents.

Delighted to welcome John Healey MP back to Aldershot to visit Riverside Group Mike Jackson House - who offer supported housing to veterans who are homeless or at risk.

Thank you to the residents who shared their stories with us. We must do better for those who serve our country.

Over the last decade, Tory Ministers have failed to sign-up almost eight-in-ten applicants to serve our country as a Reservist.

This latest example of the Government’s total failure in Armed Forces recruitment.👇

Huge turnout for ANZAC day Dawn Service at Wellington Arch. Honoured to join Australian and New Zealand High Commissioners, forces personnel and so many London-based Aussies and Kiwis to commemorate all who’ve served in conflicts since the 1915 Gallipoli landings at Anzac Cove

Judge ministers by what they do, not what they say.

The Tories have:
❌ Never matched Labour defence spending levels
❌ Cut the Army to the smallest size since Napoleon
❌ Missed their own recruitment targets every year
❌ Wasted over £15bn in bad procurement

After 14 years of Tory hollowing out of our Armed Forces, Labour will defend Britain better. We will:

✅Reinforce homeland protections
✅Fulfill NATO obligations in full
✅Make allies our strategic strength
✅Direct British defence investment first to British jobs and business

I'm honoured to champion the military veterans at Stoll. If you choose me as the next MP for Chelsea and Fulham, I promise that - unlike the present incumbent - I'll be there for every constituent who asks for my support.
