Forming a government in France is no easy task given the parliamentary arithmetic, so I send my friend - the former French Defence Minister - my best wishes as he takes on the role for a second time. A tough road lies ahead.

Strongly supportive of leaving the ECHR. No government can win back public trust without securing our borders. Someone who crosses illegally, from a safe third country, knowing it’s against the law, should not be allowed to stay.


Yesterday’s terrorist attack on Manchester’s synagogue was an assault on the Jewish community and our shared humanity; hearing my father-in-law’s chilling first-hand account brings home the horror, as we mourn the lost, pray for the injured, and stand unshaken against hate.


Putin’s economic base is weak & getting worse. After 3½ years of war, Russia’s initial war “boom” has sputtered, oil prices falling, taxes rising on ordinary Russians. Now is the time for the West to hold firm and keep backing Ukraine until victory. 🇺🇦

Reuters & TASS: Russia’s ambassador to France warned NATO shooting down Russian jets “would mean war.” There’d be no debate if Russia stopped violating NATO airspace. Putin should end his provocations and cool it. tass.com/politics/20213…


Long overdue, but exactly the kind of support for freedom and democracy we should see from a US president. Full TruthSocial repost from President Trump on Ukraine below… "After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after…

It’s a particularly dark day when Britain rewards terror. Hamas claims ‘victory’ — and, tragically, they’re right.


Ukraine can’t wait while Brussels debates. The EU must act now - not just explore options. At the same time, Britain should demonstrate leadership by putting the £30bn of frozen Russian assets we hold to work for Ukraine’s defence. ft.com/content/458526…


I find it incredible that the story of Putin's child barbarism gets so little attention. This important Yale report is a must read... medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnood/…


🚨This should be headline news, because it's an insane way to run the country: Britain’s deficit (£137bn) is now larger than the interest bill (£105bn). Or in plain English: we’re not paying the interest - we’re adding it to the debt, while still borrowing even more. Madness!


We’ve frozen £300bn of Russian assets. Leaving them idle is a mistake. On @SkyNews, I made the case that it’s time to transfer those funds to Ukraine - giving them the resources they need to resist Putin’s aggression and defend democracy in Europe. youtu.be/ni92ZaNgIhc?si…

Londoners have been riding driverless trains for almost forty years. The Docklands Light Railway has rumbled through the capital since 1987. These strikes are a stark reminder that it's time to finish the modernisation. My article for LBC 👇 lbc.co.uk/article/london…


I don't need to have agreed with Charlie Kirk's views to say that this marks a dark day for free speech and democracy. My thoughts are with his young family. youtu.be/xlTdWOUacFQ

It's time to automate the lot of it.


As Transport Secretary, I tied TfL’s £3.6bn bailout to reform: driverless trains. Khan blocked it, backed the RMT - and London now loses £230m to strikes. conservativehome.com/2025/09/09/lon…


Putin’s drones over Poland show he’s not stopping with Ukraine. NATO is next. The G7 should send a clear message: another violation, and the €300bn in frozen Russian assets go straight into Europe's defence. Cross us, and you’ll fund your own defeat 🇵🇱🇺🇦


.@Keir_Starmer’s Chagos surrender is a £47bn act of national self-harm. Handing Diego Garcia - the backbone of Western security in the Indian Ocean - to foreign influence is a gift to our adversaries. That’s why, alongside 40+ former and current MPs, peers, veterans, legal…
