We remember and honour the 255 brave personnel who laid down their lives to defend the freedom of the Falkland Islands.

We will remember them.

We're building up to a dozen new attack submarines as part of the AUKUS programme, in response to rapidly increasing threats.

This builds on a £15 billion investment in our sovereign nuclear warhead programme and will support 30,000 highly skilled jobs across the UK👇

New sanctions on Putin’s precious ships and his illicit network of enablers will sink his ambitions to prop up his creaking oil industry and fund his illegal war.

Only maximum pressure will force Putin to the table.

Week 1 draws to a close:

✅ Embarked forces integrated.
✅ Goodbye to our families.
✅ PM visit.
✅ Departed UK waters.

Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?

1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.

2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership

3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia

4. An economic partnership with America.

5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.

As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?

Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.

What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.

If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies.

National security is the bedrock of a successful economy and our Plan for Change.

This investment will make Britain stronger and safer in a more insecure world. And it will ensure defence is an engine for growth that creates good jobs across the UK.
