It is an honour to take on the role of Defence Secretary. We'll ensure our armed forces have the resources they need and stand steadfast alongside our international allies, especially Ukraine 🇺🇦
Let’s get to work 🇬🇧
It’s been an immense honour to serve as Defence Secretary and again be amongst those who give everything to defend our nation.
We owe them a huge debt of gratitude — and they will always have my absolute support.
I wish my successor every success in this vital role.
New Chancellor and former defence secretary @JohnHealey_MP says Andy Burnham’s Government “will meet our commitments on defence to our international allies” @ForcesNews

Together, we will build a new economy, build new hope and advance the working people of this country.
Time to get on with the job.
