Total shambles - Labour surrendered our fishing rights to get access to the EU’s Defence Fund, but confirmation today that they won't be getting a penny. Exactly as I predicted six months ago👇

On the news that a leading drone SME is threatening to leave the UK, remember this - British companies built some of the best drones used in Ukraine, giving us the chance to be world leaders in uncrewed warfare. But instead of us leading, those firms are leaving. Here’s why👇

The Defence Secretary said signing the EU Defence pact would “open the door” to the €150bn defence fund. So where does that leave the UK, and our fish, now that the door has been slammed shut in Labour’s face?

It is wholly inappropriate for any Defence Secretary to talk about the Chairman of the Defence Select Committee in this way – totally disrespectful. Just because Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi MP had the temerity to question where the money is going to come from to get to 3% - given John Healey still has no plan, despite resigning over that very matter – it’s no excuse for Wes Streeting to vent his frustration in this way.

Chagos chaos latest - Labour defence minister Luke Pollard MP was asked on Times Radio if spending £35bn of taxpayers money is a “good use” of the defence budget. His answer: ‘it is’. Truly extraordinary.

Fantastic to visit Ukrspecsystems's new drone factory – investing in Suffolk to build drones for Ukraine’s war effort. As Procurement Minister, I played a part developing 🇺🇦🇬🇧 industrial collaboration, and it’s wonderful to see that partnership bearing fruit so close to home.

It should come as no surprise that Farage would suck up to Trump by offering him the Chagos Islands... In February 2025, Farage said the UK "should sell the territory to America"👇🏼

It’s quite simple - if Labour publish the Defence Investment Plan when Parliament is not sitting, it will be a gross insult to our democracy and a shameful attempt to avoid scrutiny.

As Starmer commits another foreign policy u-turn, we mustn’t overlook an extraordinary fact - if these reports are right & missiles were fired at Diego Garcia, with one intercepted by a US destroyer, this once again shows Labour operating extraordinary double standards 👇

Keir Starmer worked with disgraced lawyer Phil Shiner, who hounded our veterans through the courts on false charges. Now, he’s back to try it all over again. Help us stop him:

We all know Labour’s Chagos deal is crazy, so everyone always asks me - why are they still doing it? As I explained in full detail to Parliament last month, their case rests entirely on FCDO weakness & spurious legal arguments👇
