No child should have to live in fear of missile attacks. Today I met Ukrainian children and families affected by Russia's brutal aggression. Their courage is extraordinary. The UK's support for Ukraine remains unwavering.

I understand exactly what's happening - I've seen it before
The front runner being foisted on the people of Holborn by Labour to replace the former Prime Minister Keir Starmer in our Parliament was born in Somalia. Do you understand what’s happening?

Here's an extract from my new book Betrayal, about how Russian spies infiltrated Nigel Farage's party. It tells the inside story of Nathan Gill, a former UKIP MEP, now in jail, who accepted £££ in bribes to make pro-Russian speeches. Thanks @thenerve_news thenerve.news/p/luke-harding…

Happy Birthday to us 🎉 We're 933 years old today! On 11 August 1093, the first stone was placed by the then Bishop of Durham, William of St Calais, and 40 years later it was complete!

In Feb, Infantino asked Laura McAllister what she’d say at UEFA’s Congress if she was him on stage. “Get more women in decision-making spaces.” 6mo on, UEFA’s resistance vs him was led by two women. How they did + why football needs more @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7486666…

Today I’m announcing a major investment in our nuclear deterrent, supporting 22,000 apprenticeships. Keeping this country safe is the first responsibility of any government - but security isn’t just about what we build, it’s about who builds it. The submarines produced in Barrow protect us all, the jobs and apprenticeships they create change lives. This is Britain - reindustrialised.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a new “investment”. The £8.4 billion is “part of the already agreed Dreadnought programme”. There is no new money here and no new jobs. This is a re-announcement. “Already agreed”theguardian.com/politics/2026/… Page 29 lists existing spending far higher than 8.4 billion for the programme. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a44e989…

We're incredibly sad to hear the news that our former manager Kevin Keegan has passed away. A legend of the game, Keegan led Fulham to the Football League Second Division title in 1999. He left Craven Cottage at the end of that season to focus on his duties as England manager. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this difficult time.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Thousands more raids and dodgy shops closed. Hundreds of bosses behind bars. Millions in dirty cash seized. That is the fate awaiting the criminal gangs operating in plain sight on our high streets.
