Thanks to the swift and professional actions of Lithuanian and Italian forces, NATO once again demonstrated our readiness to protect our airspace.
We stand united, around the clock, in defence of every inch of NATO territory.
For decades, nothing has changed in the circumstances of either Northern Ireland or the Falkland Islands that requires or even suggests the need for any alteration in America’s positions. Trump’s statements only spread chaos among our allies.

There was a time when a US President advocating a united Ireland would have been dynamite — dominating the news cycle for days/weeks. But it’s Trump. He spouts drivel all the time. Nobody much cares. Nobody takes much notice. He has no idea what he’s talking about. He’ll be saying the opposite in a week. A lame duck President after November. And gone in two years+. So most folks just rightly ignore him.
I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning. What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day - even on civilian railways. So far Putin has been responsible for the deaths of 1700 staff of Ukrzaliznytsia - Ukrainian Railways. They and their daily passengers are absolutely heroic.
When are we going to give them the air defences they need? Why won’t we unfreeze Putin’s cash and give it to Ukraine? There is more than €140 billion in a Belgian bank account - and about £10 billion in London. Britain could show a lead.
The Ukrainians are going to win - that much was clear from the last three days in their wonderful country. But we will get this dreadful war over much faster if we all get serious and give them what they need and deserve.
Yesterday we remembered how Britain stood shoulder to shoulder with the USA after 9/11 - both in the immediate aftermath and in blood & treasure in the wars that followed.
Today the President of the United States stabs Britain firmly in the back, calling for its dismemberment.
🚨The whole of Britain has turned on Donald Trump today.
You do not insult the Falkland islanders right to be apart of Britain.
You certainly do not call for a reunified Ireland.
You do not insult our troops.
Before people say "But you are centre right"
I am, however I also don't allow others to look down on our country.
We are not a toy, we are the United Kingdom.
