There is much to like about Shadow Defence Secretary, John Healey. His intelligent and measured response to Russian aggression, together with Kier Starmer’s insightful Telegraph article today, suggests that Labour is restoring its credibility as a safe pair of hands for defence.

"I am gravely concerned" Shadow defence sec John Healey says Russian aggression doesn't just threaten the Ukraine, but the rest of Europe and the UK must play a leading role in maitninating international and NATO unity to confront this escalating threat. trib.al/EfWHBzk

Whilst Westminster held its #GurkhaPensionDebate, those who served our country with distinction stood outside in the cold for 4 hours waiting for Government to give them hope. With the Minister failing to answer questions, Labour will work with others to find a fair way forward

I was honoured to be at the Cenotaph this morning, to pay my respects to our British and Commonwealth armed forces, and to those members of the emergency services and civilians who have served. We honour them and remember them. #RemembranceSunday

Thinking of my uncle Sgt Vernon Coaker who I’m named after. He was 23 when killed in action during a raid on the village of Le Plein 6/6/1944. He was laid to rest in the Ranville War Cemetery. We must never forget those who paid the ultimate price for our future #RemembranceDay

An honour to join and lay a wreath at Luton’s #Remembrance Service today. A time to reflect and remember our armed forces & their families, from across the UK & the Commonwealth, who gave their service and sacrifice. #RemembranceSunday #WeWillRememberThem #LestWeForget

As the heart and home of the @RoyalNavy, #Portsmouth does remembrance so well in paying tribute to those who serve. Early this morning I joined The Royal Naval Association and representatives of @HMNBPortsmouth for a wreath laying service at the Portsmouth Naval Memorial

This year our armed forces have stepped up to protect us at home and abroad. From airlifting British nationals out of Afghanistan, to driving NHS ambulances in Wales, they were there when we needed it most. Today we remember their service, past and present #RemembranceSunday

As the cost of living continues to soar and we approach Remembrance Sunday, it is utterly shameful that thousands of veterans will lose out even more, simply due to the Government’s sheer incompetence. inews.co.uk/news/veterans-…

The efforts of our armed forces this year lend #RemembranceDay a particular poignancy. As we join millions across our country to mark service past and present, Labour stands shoulder-to-shoulder with service personnel. My piece for @politicshome👇🏻 politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

MoD projects and spend are wildly out of control wasting billions in tax payers money and potentially leaving our troops exposed. Things are so bad the PAC are now calling for a Treasury investigation into how the MoD are managing their projects.

Please help @Ems4Afghans, who are doing important work to provide winter clothes for Afghans evacuated from Kabul. They are giving real meaning to Operation Warm Welcome👇🏻 gofundme.com/f/fund-communi…

Four years on from the Grenfell tragedy and the MoD still has not removed flammable cladding on skyrises that house forces personnel. The Govt should set up a national cladding taskforce with a legally enforceable deadline for removing all unsafe cladding. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Soldiers living in 27 high-rise tower blocks with combustible cladding

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said 755 buildings with sleeping accommodation in the UK are either fully or partially covered in 'combustible' cladding.

Without any scrutiny, Conservative Ministers have contracted Amazon - a non-British private company - to store classified data on their cloud servers. The cost & security implications of this raise hugely significant questions that need urgent answers👇 theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/o…

Nine years on, and still no MoD-led investigation of the soldiers involved, no inquiry into why the MOD failed to respond when Kenyan detectives asked for help and no action from Defence Ministers to fix long-run failings in military justice system thetimes.co.uk/article/db9c9b…

Tomorrow 4.4 million households, with 5.1m adults and 3.5m children, will see their incomes fall by £1,000 overnight. For 1 million households that will mean an immediate loss of over 10% of their income as we take the basic rate of benefits to its lowest level since 1990

Labour will forge a powerful new role for Britain in the world. ✅Freeze Tory cuts to the Army and reverse them if needed ✅New defence cooperation with European NATO allies ✅Renewed efforts towards multilateral arms controls ✅Building up Britain's national resilience

As @Keir_Starmer and I made clear at Conference, Labour have huge respect for the men and women in the Forces. Theirs is the ultimate public service. They defend Britain, but as we've seen from the Covid crisis, they're essential for our resilience at home. We are proud of them.
