This latest destruction of Putin's navy demonstrates that those who believe there's a stalemate in the Ukraine war are wrong!

They haven't noticed that over the past 4 months 20% of Russia's Black Sea Fleet has been destroyed.

Russia's dominance in the Black Sea is now challenged and the new UK & Norway led Maritime Capability Coalition is helping to ensure Ukraine will win at sea.

My full statement on the attack:

[Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps @grantshapps]

HMS Diamond has shot down a suspected attack drone targeting merchant shipping in the Red Sea - destroying the target with a Sea Viper missile.

I will move heaven and earth to bring British hostages home.

Headingley never fails to deliver.

Although it won't in 2027. Neither will Old Trafford or Durham.

Ashes cricket should always exist north of Trent Bridge.

Had my ceremony earlier today! And mostly it was lovely thanks to the people at @hackneycouncil. They were so welcoming, and made sure multiculturalism and respect was at the heart of it.. proud to have lived in Hackney so many years and become British at the town hall.

Not a good start to the day when ushers at #Sheffield Magistrates' Court tell journalism students they can't make notes because defendants will be giving personal details in court! #openjustice
