David Davis MP

Today I will introduce the Military Operations Bill to Parliament.

In recent years we have subjected our brave service men and women to a slow-motion moral failure.

We have watched as our legal system imports laws written to apply to civilians in peacetime into lethal combat zones.

As a result, troops tell their commanders they no longer fear only the enemy in front of them but the lawyer behind them.

My Bill would put an end to that and ensure that those who defend us know the State stands firmly behind them.

Delighted to visit Goole Jobcentre Plus today to support a fantastic local employment initiative.

Working with @GooleVikingsRL and @hullcollegegrp, the programme will help local people gain valuable skills and open up new opportunities for employment.

A great example of local organisations working together to benefit our community.

A big thank you to Cllr Liz Sargeantson for organising the meeting.

What really went wrong inside Keir Starmer’s Downing Street, and can Andy Burnham save Labour?

Starmer’s former policy chief, @claire_ainsley, joins @Guto_Harri and me on the latest @unleashpolitics to discuss Burnham’s first 100 days, what Starmer was really like behind closed doors, and why Labour has no second chance.

Today I was pleased to welcome the @f40campaign to Parliament.

Pupils in our area, East Riding of Yorkshire, receive the lowest high needs funding of any local authority area.

East Riding gets £999.04 per pupil, compared to £3,831.71 per pupil in the best-funded area, Camden.

No child should miss out on support they need simply because of where they live. The Government must urgently address this scandal and end this inequality.

I will continue to work with f40 to ensure pupils are treated fairly, and funding is allocated equally across all of England.

Former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Howard Davies, joins us to discuss Britain’s £3 trillion debt and Andy Burnham’s first Budget.

Having worked inside the Treasury, led the CBI, and chaired major banks, his verdict is damning: it was barely a Budget at all.
