The era of the peace dividend is over and 2024 will mark an inflection point. For the world it will be the greatest democratic year in history, for Ukraine the fate of their nation may be decided, and for Britain this government will continue to invest to deter, lead and defend. #foryoupage #FYP #politics #military #defence

Every day we’re seeing the tragic consequences of the more dangerous world we’re living in. How we respond will define our future. And the choice is clear. Just like our enemies we must be prepared for a new era of confrontation. #foryoupage #FYP #defence #military #politics

🚨JUST ANNOUNCED: The UK has signed a landmark Treaty to build new supersonic and stealth fighter jets with Italy and Japan. These new jets will put the UK at the cutting edge of aerial warfare, giving us the power to fight and win against future enemies 🇬🇧🇯🇵🇮🇹 #military #fighterjet #foryoupage #FYP #politics

The West is at a crossroads - are we ready for the threats ahead? With rising global conflicts and shifting power dynamics, defence has never been more important. I joined Harry Stebbings on the Business of Politics podcast to break down what governments are getting wrong, why investment in defence isn’t optional, and what’s coming next. We need hard decisions, not wishful thinking - tune in for a no-nonsense conversation on where we go from here.

As Keir Starmer meets President Trump today, he must remember: Europe can no longer rely on America to shoulder the burden of its security. Last year at Lancaster House, I warned that we were entering a more dangerous era and that Europe must step up its own defence. That need is now even more urgent.

Keir Starmer's defence spending boost is welcome. But Europe’s paying the price for years of unforgivable inaction. Hear my take on Times Radio🎙️

Aggression should not be rewarded. Russia cannot, and must not, benefit from Putin's illegal invasion.

Defence & startups have more in common than you think: small, agile teams, quick decision-making, and an entrepreneurial mindset. Special Forces epitomise this.

The AI revolution affects us all. But with DeepSeek in the hands of the Chinese state, this isn’t just about markets - it’s about control.

Labour’s refusal to invest in defence is a false economy. The bill for their weakness will come due - at a far higher price for Britain.

Today marks the final day last year’s General Election could have been fought. Instead, it’s a moment to judge Labour: promises made vs delivery. Spoiler: it’s not looking good.

Presidential executive orders and pardons are taking place today, so it's a good moment to reflect on how the UK should recognise its own heroes. The family of SAS legend, Paddy Mayne, has waited too long, but calls to recognise him are louder than ever. Let’s make this right. 💂‍♂️💥 📺 Watch my interview @BFBS Forces News, and dive into the full story here: https://www.forcesnews.com/heritage/wwii/sas-expert-us-and-australia-honour-historic-heroes-why-cant-uk-do-same-paddy-mayne @Daily Mail

The UK and the West must stay firmly committed to Ukraine. Any hesitation now will only heighten the stakes - and the cost - for us all. Catch more of my thoughts on Ben Houchen's excellent new podcast. #Ukraine #support_ukraine #defence

Strongly welcome Keir Starmer's decision to order the RAF to intercept Iranian missiles aimed at Israel - as I did in April under Operation SHADER. Iran's responsible for all the instability in the middle east, preventing the region from moving on. They need to be dealt with.

The Conservative Party needs to pick the right leader this Autumn. And there's one person with all the requisite skills - @JamesCleverly. Three incontrovertible facts about James: 1. He's the most experienced candidate. 2. He's the best communicator. 3. He's a first class campaigner with a fantastic vision for this country. That's why I'm backing James and have agreed to chair his campaign. He's someone with the experience, gravitas and vision we need for a more prosperous Britain. #JC24
