For years, I’ve fought for Plymouth leaseholders trapped in "fleecehold" scams and rip-off service charges. I'm proud to see Labour’s Leasehold & Commonhold Reform Bill. We’re capping ground rents and banning new leasehold flats to give control back to the residents

I’m heading to Manchester for the first meeting at Number 10 North. As a Defence Minister I know that defence contributes to our reindustrialisation as a nation and makes us stronger too. As a south west MP I’m excited about a new focus on the regions which will help Plymouth.

I attended the first National Economic Council meeting at Number 10 North today with Andy Burnham in the chair. There was real energy in the room about the PM’s reform and devolution agenda. Good that we had three of us from the South west there too.

If the BBC are censoring me for calling out racism and anti semitism then they need to be upfront with the public about that.

The Conservatives spent 14 years hollowing out our Armed Forces, including £12 billion of cuts in their first five years alone. Now they've suddenly discovered the importance of investment. We're busy fixing their failures I set the record straight at the Despatch Box yesterday:

Both the Greens and Reform are soft on Putin and soft on NATO. The greens want to pull out of NATO and Reform’s Leader says Putin is the leader he admires the most. Labour takes a different approach: a NATO-first approach, increasing defence spending and renewing our forces.

It takes three of them to take on one of me... After the last government tied up HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark, never to go to sea again, this government is working with the Netherlands to bring back amphibious ships.

Skyhammer is the UK’s answer to Shahed-style drone threats. This week I joined live trials in Jordan of the Skyhammer interceptor missile, following a multi-million-pound contract with veteran-led start-up Cambridge Aerospace. We're delivering for defence and British industry

It was great to visit the team at @saab in Fareham this week. World-class radar systems, built by brilliant people right here in the UK, are exactly the kind of British capabilities we need to be backing.

Just arrived at Labour conference. My message to delegates this week: be political, be bold and be authentic. When the options for our country are patriotic renewal with Labour or division and decline with Reform UK I know whose side I’m on 🇬🇧🌹

Last week I appeared on Politics SW and called out the Reform councillor for Ham on his racist social media posts. The BBC are still refusing to show the full episode on the iPlayer, and on yesterday’s show played this short clip instead.

The Conservatives seem to have a real difficulty understanding National Security. In the Chagos Islands debate, I had to explain the deal 3 times-they’re clearly ignoring plain English As they well know, we never confirm where nuclear weapons are stored. Security must come first.

The Armed Forces Commissioner Bill is now law. This Labour government is renewing the contract between the nation and those who serve.

Yesterday in the House of Commons, I was proud to outline the major progress this Labour Government is making on Defence. Record investment in defence, reforming procurement, and putting our military on a sustainable footing and ending years of Tory hollowing out.

Exciting developments for the Civic Centre as Plymouth City Council have appointed a developer to transform it into the new homes that we desperately need. That's a Labour Council, working with a Labour MP, and a Labour government. We're delivering for Plymouth.
