In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Malcolm was a government Minister when Grangemouth announced it would close - what did he do about it?
Not a thing.
He wouldn’t even fund a study into supporting future industries on the site.
@LaindonFEMINIST The UK is the 5th highest military spender in the world (only the US, China, Russia & Germany spend more).
The Tories spent 40 years defunding defence, but the MSM tell us it's Starmer's fault.
Maybe more needs to be done; but suddenly throwing money at the problem is no answer.
We became the 5th largest economy (again) this year having dropped under the Tories. Interestingly we are the 5th highest spender on defence. Spending Increased continuously under this Labour Gov. facts matter.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
Media covering Musk trillion without any real regard to broader issues of inequality, tech bro abuses of power, his extreme politics. Glad to have been in a primary school this morning where the views on Musk were a lot wiser and less flattering.
The hospitality industry wants their VAT cut to 10%. It will cost £12bn
Who benefits?
❌ The smallest most vulnerable businesses? Nope. 45% get nothing.
❌ Consumers? Nope - prices won't fall.
✅ Nearly half the cash goes straight to large chains. McDonald's gets £400m.

@NadiaWhittomeMP You were told very clearly it had nothing to do with gender stereotypes, rather the reverse.
Odd to put up a clip that shows you lack the capacity to understand this very basic point!
Female police officers should never be expected to search men who say they are women.
We’re in court on 16th June, standing up for officers whose forces think unlawful searches can be allowed “by consent”.
Will you support our legal challenge?

He turns up with a hard hat for a picture but he really doesn’t have a clue.
Labour saved over 500 jobs at Grangemouth with a £120 million package and we’ve just announced £350 million to support the chemicals sector.
We’re on the side of the workers - he just pretends to be.

Why doesn’t Farage sit down with a low paid care worker, look them in the eye and tell them the truth.
He voted against a ban on zero hours contracts.
Against sick pay from Day 1.
Against protections from fire & rehire.
He’s not a friend of workers - he’s a political fraud.
