Conservative Friends of the Armed Forces

We are delighted to announce that The Rt Hon @JamesCleverly MP has joined Conservative Friends of the Armed Forces as our Honorary President. Read more below ⬇️

Excellent speech from @KemiBadenoch at the London Defence Conference - brutally honest about the tough choices we will need to make to lift defence spending to 3%, but also willing to work with the PM to get there sooner rather than later. Serious leadership on defence.

We at @CFArmedForces are proud to support this @conservatives campaign and you can help by signing the petition below to put HM Forces and Veterans railcards into law: saveveteransrailcard.com

Today we remember the 6 million Jewish people who were murdered by the Nazi regime in the 20th century. We mourn those we lost and continue to honour the courage of survivors whose testimony will educate future generations.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Conservative Friends of the Armed Forces🎄

The @Conservatives £50bn Sovereign Defence Fund will get Britain war ready and send a powerful message to our adversaries. Here’s how👇

The first duty of any government is to defend our country. But Keir Starmer thinks handing out more money to Ed Miliband's Net Zero vanity projects is more important. Today, we’re announcing our Sovereign Defence Fund plan to unlock billions for defence without raising tax.

Brilliant to join @KemiBadenoch at Evolve Dynamics today to launch our £50 Billion Sovereign Defence Fund. Evolve typify the entrepreneurial spirit of our UK Defence SMEs - producing hardy, all-weather drones with minimal Chinese content.

We will back our Armed Forces, back British technology, and secure a brighter future for Britain 🇬🇧

I am deeply saddened to hear the tragic news that a member of the UK Armed Forces died this morning in Ukraine. My sincere condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time.

77 today! 🎈 Thank you for the kind words and well wishes on His Majesty’s Birthday. 📷 @MilliePilks / Sandringham Estate

On #ArmisticeDay we remember the service and sacrifice of all those who lost their lives during war. ‘When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.’

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Our veterans defended us - now it’s our turn to defend them. #CPC25

Our researcher @TomNurcombe chaired a @CFArmedForces panel with @David__Reed MP, @aliona_hlivco and James Clark on defence technology at #CPC25. The discussion covered China’s rapid technological advances, the role of defence tech in Ukraine, and how the UK can build a world-leading innovation ecosystem to strengthen our national security. 💡🛰️

CFAF were recently represented at a SW Conservatives Policy Forum event in Exeter. The Defence Policy session, chaired by President of the National Convention @stewharper, featured Shadow Secretary of State for Defence, @jcartlidgemp, and CFAF Ambassador Lt Col Roger Metcalfe

Delighted that the UK’s Type 26 Frigate has been chosen by Norway. Proud to have played a part in the export campaign as Procurement Minister, a top priority on my visit in Dec 2023. Great news for 🇬🇧 industry - but also joint 🇬🇧 🇳🇴 Naval ops against our shared submarine threat.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day. We remember the bravery that brought the war to an end. We honour those who fought and we must never forget their service and the service of all those who have come since.

Honoured to be doing the media round as we mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. #VJDay80

80 years ago, the guns fell silent in the Pacific marking the end of WW2.   Today, we remember those who fought to the very end and the families who endured years of fear & loss.   Their courage and sacrifice shaped the free, democratic Britain we cherish. We honour them, always.
