The Unions are cheering after Rachel Reeves’ speech. 

Labour have completely bowed down to their demands to import French-style laws that will cost British businesses £1,250 a year per employee.

But as Conservatives we will stand up to unions and back business to create jobs.

Starmer has tried everything to convince you that the UK would be secure with Labour. But his pitch doesn't stand up to analysis. Watch and pass this on....

My thoughts are with Squadron Leader Mark Long’s family and friends at this tragic time, I offer them my deepest condolences.

He will be sorely missed by all whose lives he touched.

The men and women of our Armed Forces are the best of Britain 🇬🇧

Those who volunteer to do their National Service as a military commission will gain incredible opportunities and experiences by learning from them.

Tragic news that a RAF pilot lost their life today. A reminder of the bravery & dedication with which our Armed Forces serve everyday.

My thoughts are with his family and all those affected at this very sad time. My thanks to those involved in the response.

Every day that goes past without Labour saying how they’d protect our nation is a day where the world gets more dangerous.

Only the Conservatives will take the bold action we need to strengthen our national defence:

Britain needs a Prime Minister with courage.

But with Keir Starmer running away from six TV debates, how on earth could we trust him to have the guts to stand up to tyrants like Putin and defend our nation.

Our commitment to reach 2.5% of GDP on Defence means that we're able to plan future fighter jets, with long lead times, now. Meaning greater security under Conservatives.

The stories of our DDay heroes can never be forgotten & I will ensure this year’s commemorations deliver on that promise.

I was proud to join veterans on HMS Belfast today, alongside Gillian Keegan MP, as they inspired a new generation of schoolchildren with their bravery.

Putin’s total mobilisation of his economy is simply not sustainable. And he knows it.

If all allies match the UK’s pledge to maintain support to Ukraine for the next 6 years we can exploit this weakness & make it impossible for the Russian economy to maintain its war effort.

The world cannot wait, Ukraine needs us to step up so they have what they need to push Putin back.

That’s exactly what the UK has done today.

A full breakdown of what we’ve rushed to Ukraine to support the men and women fighting on freedom’s frontline:

The UK has rushed 1 million rounds of ammunition, air defence missiles & drones to Ukraine’s frontline to help hold Putin’s army back.

Russia’s new offensive must be a wake up call for the world so that every nation fast tracks their deliveries.

Thousands of UK & NATO forces have conducted ex. Swift Response in Estonia - a critical exercise to ensure allies are ready for any threat.

In a more dangerous world, exercises like this are key to deterring our enemies by proving they are no match for the military might of NATO

With attention building for , we shouldn’t forget today’s 80th anniversary of Monte Cassino, a hard-fought victory for Allied forces that paved the way for the liberation of Rome. 

The Allies suffered over 54k casualties and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

The first aid trucks have arrived in Gaza via the new pier.
 
This is a major step forward. The first shipment, including UK aid, will be enough feed 11,000 people for a month.
 
The UK continues to step up, with RFA Cardigan Bay providing critical support to operate the pier.

Pleased to confirm General Dame Sharon Nesmith as the new Vice Chief of the Defence Staff.

Her extensive leadership and operational experience will help to lead the Armed Forces as we adapt to meet the threats of a more dangerous world.

Russia’s expulsion of the UK’s defence attaché (DA) is a desperate move. 

Whilst Russia’s DA in the UK was acting as a spy, Putin’s only issue with ours was that they personified the UK’s unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of his illegal and barbaric invasion.

The UK will lead the world in drone killing tech.

We’re already urgently procuring DragonFire lasers that can cut down drones at the speed of light.

And now we’ve announced the UK’s radio beam weapon that will bring down swarms of drones for just 10p.
