“Number 10 will not listen.” We’ve been saying that for two years- winter fuel, welfare cuts, family farm tax, Chagos, National Insurance, Unemployment Rights, Oil and Gas, Defence Investment Plan… But now even Labour MPs are saying it out loud too.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both. I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces. Letter to the PM

On a busy day like this, you can’t beat test driving a @SupacatLtd Jackal in the Devon countryside - a brilliant example of Britain’s amazing defence industry.

The DIP dither and delay and now the clearly reduced defence budget adds further uncertainty to our defence industry at a time when they need certainty. Our plan will provide defence funding by making the tough welfare reforms the PM is failing to lead on.

John Healey, the former Defence Secretary, has acted honourably by resigning. Keir Starmer is too weak to cut welfare and fund defence - as I told him yesterday at PMQs. Only the Conservatives have a plan to put our national security first.

Yesterday in #PMQs @KemiBadenoch told Keir Starmer to cut welfare spending to fund defence. He refused. Now the Defence Secretary has resigned 👇

Bad luck to graduates struggling with massive student loan debts - delaying starting a family because you can’t afford it. Labour chose to lift the two child benefit cap and spend more on benefits rather than help you. @Conservatives will cap the interest on plan 2 student

A child’s first 1001 days - pregnancy to age two, are critical in laying their life’s foundations. Winning the PMB was an enormous privilege. I want to unite Parliament around a world-first Bill to recognise this, and enshrine support for the 1001 critical days in law. 🧵 1/6

The Ministry of Defence needs an extra £28 billion by 2030. As it happens, benefits are set to go up by £40 billion between now and then. Yet still, Labour refuse to make ANY welfare savings.

Two years ago, my last event working for for the @CWGC was to host a service on Plymouth Hoe to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day. We were joined by veteran Bill Johnson. I’m so glad we were as sadly he is no longer with us. Why we remember today. #wewillrememberthem

Today we remember the sacrifice and bravery of the British and Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. They fought for freedom, duty, and our values. We will never forget their sacrifice.

By now, 82 years ago, thousands of men had landed on the beaches of Normandy in a courageous operation of liberation. Their extraordinary bravery freed us from the fear of tyranny and oppression. We are forever in their debt.

This is such a tragedy. My thoughts with the family and friends of those who lost their lives. The fact it happened in Devon is particularly gut wrenching.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera
