We all know
Thanks @Nigel_Farage – it is true that, like you, I didn’t serve in the armed forces. But I’m incredibly proud of what I delivered for them as Defence Procurement Minister - the deal to buy back the defence estate, so we can actually rebuild forces housing; the MoD’s first ever Drone strategy, kicking off uncrewed development like the hybrid navy; procuring directed energy weapons for the first time, like DragonFire; and chairing the Defence Nuclear Board overseeing CASD, a role usually held by the Secretary of State.

But do you know what I’m really proud of? Being part of a govt that moved heaven & earth to help Ukraine in its great fight for freedom.

In comparison, what did you do when Russia invaded? Blame NATO. And you’ve repeated that baseless position since.

So I offer my best wishes to your new spokesman, @AngusReform, but I hope next time he’s in front of the press you’ll let him actually be a spokesman - so we can find out if he agrees with your abhorrent views on Russia/Ukraine, that lack compassion & the good sense needed to be a proper leader, rather than a preening Putinista populist.

Delighted to join @jcartlidgemp in Berlin to discuss Anglo-German defence cooperation.

NATO is more important than ever, and our alliance with Germany will be vital moving forward.
It’s never been more important to stand strong with our NATO allies, so it was fantastic to lead a @Conservatives defence delegation alongside @DavidReedMP in Berlin, where we discussed 🇩🇪🇬🇧 defence & security co-operation with CDU Parliamentary colleagues @n_roettgen @juergenhardt @TErndl @LayVolker @KASonline

So who was really behind the devastating cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover, which cost the UK an estimated £2 billion?

@Ed_Miliband came very close to telling us in the House of Commons.

The Government still has questions to answer. We won’t let this drop.

spectator.com Was Russia behind the Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack? Video footage emerged in which Al Carns was shown stating that ‘we know that the Jaguar Land Rover attack was state-sponsored’.

Delighted to join @KemiBadenoch this morning.

As Kemi made clear, the threats we face are no longer confined to conventional warfare. Hybrid warfare threatens all aspects of our lives.

The Government must recognise the scale of the challenge, set out a credible plan for defence spending and ensure Britain is prepared for the threats of tomorrow.

Instead, it is putting welfare over defence.
Privileged to join @Conservatives on HMS Wellington this morning, to introduce another barnstorming speech from @KemiBadenoch.

Her message was clear - in a more dangerous world, we must cut welfare to fund Defence.
