Only by increasing defence spending to 2.5% by 2030 can we invest billions to improve military housing. Labour refusing to match this makes it impossible for them to claim any credible plan for improvement - with their defence cuts putting critical housing projects at risk.
Horrific news after this morning’s attack. Like all parents, my thoughts are with those affected and their families. The rapid response of our police and emergency responders is a reminder of the immense bravery and service they display every day.

We’re rearming Britain with billions to keep munitions production always on in British factories. Storm Shadows like this, that have had devastating impacts in Ukrainian hands, will give the UK the overwhelming strike capabilities we need to keep you safe.
This is the UK’s Storm Shadow production line - where we’re building the missiles that have been so devastating in Ukrainian hands. It’s factories like this that we’ve put on a war footing this week by injecting billions into the stockpiles we need to deter a new axis.
This week has proven that only the @Conservatives will put our national defence first. We’ve taken unprecedented action to launch the greatest strengthening of our Armed Forces since the Cold War. In a more dangerous world this is the right plan. thetimes.co.uk/article/grant-…
Today I briefed more than 50 nations on the UK’s largest ever military donation package which includes funding and gifting. The UK's backing for Ukraine is absolute because we understand what would happen if Putin were to win. Simply put, he wouldn't stop there. We will lead…
The allegations of Russian malign activity in the UK are deeply concerning. Anyone found guilty of assisting a foreign intelligence service will be held to account. The UK will never be deterred from backing Ukraine by Russia’s futile attempts to shake our resolve.

During a recent routine Operation Shader patrol, 2 @RoyalAirForce Typhoons identified rockets being launched in Iraq against coalition forces. To defend against this attack, our aircraft successfully used a Paveway IV precision-guided bomb to destroy the rocket launcher system.
The crew of @hmsdiamond are continuing to save innocent lives in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Yesterday Diamond became the first Royal Navy ship to shoot down a missile since 1991 - when they destroyed a Houthi missile targeting merchant vessels.
When I set out my priorities as Defence Secretary I declared the era of the peace dividend over. Since then @RishiSunak and I have kept that promise with new funding that rises to the moment - empowering our Armed Forces to deter our enemies, lead our allies & defend our nation.
This ANZAC day we join our allies in remembering the sacrifice of those from Australia and New Zealand that gave everything in the service of our collective freedom and to celebrate the enduring friendship and cooperation which keeps each of our nations safe 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇳🇿
The incredible men and women across the Ministry of Defence that I briefed yesterday will now have record amounts of funding to defend our nation. £75bn more to empower them to put industry on a war footing, modernise our Armed Forces and support Ukraine.
The costs of war would be unimaginable - which is why we must do more to deter Britain’s enemies. Our £75bn uplift will prove that Britain is more serious about our defence than at any point since the Cold War.
Threats to global peace are growing. Our Armed Forces must be able to fight and win against any enemy. That’s why we’ve increased defence spending by an unprecedented £75bn over the next 6 years. 📰Read my article on today’s Daily Mail: dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
Today’s £75 billion uplift in defence spending is an undeniable message to Britain’s enemies. Leaving no doubt of our resolve to protect Britain from the threats of a more dangerous world.
I believe we must do more to defend our country, our interests, and our values. That starts today.
