Dutch F-35s have intercepted Russian drones over Poland. Within the NATO framework, our F-35s make a significant contribution to the defence of our collective security. This is precisely what we stand ready to do. This is how we keep the escalating Russian threat at a distance.

Russian milbloggers spread a fake image, claiming the drone strike on Poland was tracked in real time and aimed at Rzeszów airport. Proof this attack was planned and deliberate.

Poland formally asks for Article Four consultations. “Tusk later announced that the consultations with the allies had already taken on the form of a formal request to launch art. 4 NATO. - This is our joint recommendation - the head of gov’t pointed out.” fakt.pl/polityka/rosyj…


Boris Johnson earned £5.1m in speech fees after leaving govt yet claimed £182k of taxpayer cash for staff, leaked files suggest. Nice work if you can get it. Extraordinary from Guardian Investigations ---> theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Yvette Cooper’s appointment means UK has had 6 Foreign Secretaries in 5 yrs: Lammy, Cameron, Cleverly, Truss, Raab. This merry-go-round at top of UK diplomacy will further dismay allies. Relationships continually have to be rebuilt + sense of UK foreign policy inconsistency.


"Overwhelming evidence" US nuclear weapons are back in the UK. CND calls on Starmer to update Parliament. MoD says it will neither confirm or deny. The Cold War is back ---> theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

On Afghan Resettlement and MOD data breach: I’d like to add my sincere apology to those of other current & former defence ministers for the data breach which compromised details of so many applicants to the ARAP scheme. 🧵 [1/25]

It’s 3:10 a.m. in Tehran, and this is the first message and reaction from the capital sent to me via Telegram, in response to Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Shared with permission.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the chief of the defence, has come straight from a Cobra on Iran to @RUSI_org to say XXXX and XXXX. He also thinks that XXXX and XXXX. Q and A to follow.

Apparently, serving members of the @BritishArmy who find themselves accosted by a (scary - not) journalist on the sidelines of the @RUSI_org land warfare conference have been told they must immediately “extricate” themselves!! What a farce. Control freakery gone mad. I may see if…


Spent a night with a Ukrainian drone squad on the front line near Toretsk. We talked about the war, Trump, ethics, why they joined up and more in an bunker hidden under the earth. It was an extraordinary reporting experience ---> theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…


Nearly three years into the Ukraine war and Russia's war economy continues to outpace Europe's response. Battlefield situation is worst for Ukraine since spring '22, the US airs partition peace plans and support from elsewhere appears insufficient

Meanwhile as the UK havers on helping Ukraine, the US edges forward

NEWS: The Biden admin has lifted a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems, particularly F16 fighter jets and Patriot air defense systems, an official with direct knowledge…

Donald Trump Will Be President: Let’s Not Dramatize▶kyivpost.com/opinion/41788



A canny opening effort from Zelenskiy - appealing to Trump's belief in 'peace through strength' - but the Ukraine president also has to contend with a VP elect willing to carve up Ukraine along lines of control. Who speaks to Trump last often prevails

Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his impressive election victory! I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against…



See how this goes

Congratulations President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead.
