Trump’s outburst at Putin over ceasefire talks is telling. He’s grasped what’s long been clear—Putin talks peace to buy time, not to make it!

Putin doesn't want a peace deal. I hope America is waking up to that reality. Donald J. Trump's outburst over ceasefire talks is telling - he's realised: Putin talks peace to buy time, not to make it. Hear more in my interview with Harry Cole ⬇️

Only last week the OBR forecast unemployment would rise to 4.5% this year - higher than expected. Now Labour’s North Sea policy risks thousands more job losses before renewables are ready. This isn’t a transition - it’s economic vandalism. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…

Labour’s £90m-a-year Chagos deal hands UK sovereignty to Mauritius, risks a key US base, and opens the floodgates to further British retreats. Trump may not object - but the US President doesn’t always have the UK’s best interests at heart. The government must rethink this.

Reviving 19th-century trade policy in the 21st century is like swapping your iPhone for a telegraph. Progress doesn’t come from going backwards.

Diversity-hiring caused a 30% shortfall in RAF pilots at key ranks. Now Labour have scrapped my review into the woke culture weakening our Armed Forces “like rust weakening steel.” This is social engineering at the expense of national security. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

As if £9bn wasn’t enough for a deal that should never happen - and puts our national security at risk. Ludicrous. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

On this day in 1992, John Major secured 14 million votes - the most in UK history - through quiet, steady leadership. No theatrics, just calm competence. It’s a reminder of a different political era, where substance often spoke louder than spectacle.

As the Coalition meets in Brussels, let’s face it: this is our continent - and we’ve been far too comfortable while war rages at our door. Ukraine needs strength, not sympathy. Europe must unite and push back against Putin. #StandWithUkraine

Honoured to receive a Knighthood in the former Prime Minister’s Resignation list. It’s always been a privilege to serve our country, albeit through some incredibly challenging years.

Wonderful to see this line re-opening. As Transport Secretary, I launched the Beeching Reversals programme to reconnect communities just like this one. Very proud that this initiative is now delivering real results. 🚆

Sanctions that aren’t watertight are pointless — these oligarchs slip through the cracks like champagne through a colander! express.co.uk/news/uk/204067…

The fact the Army is being called in to clean Birmingham’s streets is a damning indictment of Labour’s failure to govern. This isn’t some sudden emergency—it’s the result of chronic mismanagement and a council beholden to union paymasters.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Today, we remember the tens of thousands of Jews who were murdered there and all who survived against all odds, as well as the brave members of the British Armed Forces who liberated the camp.

Russia admitted to striking Sumy in Ukraine, killing 34. Yet Trump called it “a mistake” — going further than the Kremlin in excusing Putin’s illegal war. Alarming that the supposed leader of the free world defends Moscow more than Moscow itself.

NHS caught ranking CVs by race. This isn’t equality — it’s discrimination dressed up as diversity. Time to restore common sense! dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Inexplicably Donald J. Trump has spent years fawning over tyrants like Putin. But calling this missile strike on democracy a “mistake” is a betrayal of everything the free world stands for. Truly shameful. theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…

It's disgusting the leader of the free world is incapable of telling the difference between a dictator and an illegally invaded democratic country. Hear my edition of the One Decision Podcast Podcast with Kate McCann & Sir Richard Dearlove onedecision.com/podcast/ex-uk-…

BREAKING: The passing of Pope Francis on Easter Monday marks a profound moment for Catholics across the world. A humble servant and moral voice in turbulent times, his legacy will endure. Thoughts with the Catholic community at this sacred and sorrowful time.

At a time when Europe’s security is under threat and US commitment is uncertain, EU leaders should welcome the UK defence industry - not attach strings. This is about security, not a choice between fish and freedom. #Defence #UK #EU #NATO thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
