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:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many thanks to all those UK personnel who assisted the summit this weekend. The ceremonial and logistical support was outstanding. Particular thanks to Joint Aviation Command for the lift they gave President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський to Sandringham to meet the King. #StandWithUkraine

Shocking to hear a Reform Councillor dismiss the importance of SEND funding when pressed by Fred Thomas MP. We should be protecting our most vulnerable children, not suggesting their support is on the chopping block. Reform are quick to criticise, but slow on real policy & answers
