Wow. Italy’s new Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sums it up perfectly. No wonder the elites and establishment don’t want her to succeed. https://t.co/aYdecShaNs
Exactly 100 years to the day after #HMSVictory entered dry dock, I sat in Nelson’s Great Cabin and took over as @RoyalNavy Second Sea Lord. My personal thanks and best wishes to my predecessor @VAdmNickHine. Now time for me to get to work!
@RfaNostalgia@RFAHeadquarters @DefenceES @RoyalNavy Devastating news. Rob was a gentleman and a professional, my heartfelt thoughts are with Rob’s family. RiP.
@LOS_Fisher I’d be interested to know how the percentage of @RoyalNavy personnel who will definitely be deployed for Christmas this year (and every year) compares to this figure. I get the pre-IR messaging here but not sure I like it.

To team Portsmouth for their tremendous work over the past 3 months, Forth Pilots for their utter professionalism bringing us into Dry Dock today, and my outstanding Ship’s Company for their enduring commitment, thank you. Another milestone on the road to Carrier Strike.
Chief of the Indian Naval Staff Admiral Sunil Lanba visited @HMNBPortsmouth today and was given a tour of @HMSQNLZ by @AdmPhilipJones. The @RoyalNavy and @indiannavy have formed the Carrier Capability Partnership to share best practice from the UK's carrier programme.
Proud to take over as Rear Admiral Fleet Air Arm today. BZ to @RNASYeovilton for hosting and to all the award recipients. And some excellent drill thrown in for good measure too!
Hurtling home from NATO ,across what were the blood soaked Battlefields of the First World War,I fear that we take for granted the unbroken peace in which we have lived,and have become forgetful of our History and casual, even reckless with our Democracy#neverforget
