Ministers are failing Afghans who worked alongside our Armed Forces.

Despite the heroic efforts of service personnel, this government has left behind thousands who face daily danger.

Ministers must not rest until all those eligible are safely in the UK

Pleased to see this important gesture from RMT. I look forward to working with volunteers and
Royal British Legion to raise awareness and funds for this year's London Poppy Day

After 12 years of Tory failure, the British people deserve so much better than this revolving door of chaos.

We need a general election, now.

The RAF reacted with total professionalism to a Russian jet firing a missile in an interaction with an RAF surveillance aircraft.

Russia has confirmed it was a malfunction, & this incident reminds us of the need to avoid escalation.

As ever, the RAF has Labour's full support.

In the Commons I’ve just praised the RAF for their calm and cool response to a Russian SU-27 fighter jet firing a missile in an interaction with an RAF Rivet Joint surveillance aircraft in international airspace near Ukraine. Russia has confirmed it was a malfunction.

Ajax is the biggest defence procurement failure of the past decade.

With £3.2bn already spent, just 26 vehicles have been delivered and a five year delay leaves future Army plans in limbo.

Ministers are failing British troops and British taxpayers.

Labour is the party of NATO. In government we will implement a ‘NATO test’ in our first 100 days to make sure Britain meets in full our commitments the Alliance telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/10/1…

At a time when threats are increasing, we need our Royal Navy ships at sea, not in dock.

Ministers must be open about the time and cost of repairs to our NATO flagship HMS Prince of Wales and ensure the UK can meet its commitments to NATO and our allies. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

The Tories have thrown the country into economic chaos.

They have crashed the economy and put hardworking families at risk.

It’s time they reversed their kamikaze budget.

In Government, Labour would apply a 'NATO Test' to all major defence projects in our first 100 days to ensure we are meeting our obligations in full.

During a speech The Wilson Center in Washington, I made clear Labour will make sure Britain's NATO obligations are back on track.

I’m deeply concerned for the people of Kyiv and Ukraine as Russia escalates its unjustifiable attacks.

The loss suffered by Ukrainians is immeasurable.

The UK is firmly united in condemning Putin’s latest wave of violence and destruction. We stand with Ukraine, today & always.

New figures I've got reveal this government's disregard for those who’ve served in our Forces

Tens of thousands are being forced to rely on benefits as the cost of living crisis bites

Labour will make sure no one who serves our country is left behind dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

This is a slap in the face to service communities. The Conservatives like to talk up their support for our forces, but they’ll judge Ministers by their actions, not their words. An urgent rethink is required before Remembrance.👇

This is a crisis made in Downing Street.

We are all now paying the price for unfunded tax cuts which benefit the wealthiest people in Britain.

It couldn’t be any clearer - the Conservatives aren’t on your side.
