I know everyone is poring over election results, but let’s not forget… Today is VE Day. It’s still living memory and being able to have elections is one of the freedoms fought for. That freedom was bought by men and women who served our country. Even now our veterans need defending. The battles are different…like stopping brave veterans being dragged through the courts for vexatious claims in their old age. Conservatives continue to fight. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court reinstated immunities after my Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson stepped in, acted pro bono for veterans, and won. We’re the only party doing the work. On VE Day, we remember their sacrifice. But remembrance is not enough. We should also honour our veterans by looking after them and defending them in Parliament, in the courts just as they defended us.

This VE Day and always, we will remember the generation that gave everything to restore freedom to Europe. #VEDay81

My piece form a year ago seems even more relevant this morning, for @CityAM: “ Reform surge has reshaped the political landscape” 👇 cityam.com/reform-surge-h…

Listen to co-founder @jamesjohnson252 analysing Reform UK's fusion of local and national issues, on @TimesRadio “In our focus groups, voters are clearly angry at illegal immigration and see the Govt spending money on that rather than fixing roads or local services, and that's why Reform has been so successful” thetimes.com/radio/show/202…

Best wishes & good luck to everyone standing for election this Thursday & all the teams who work so hard to support our candidates. Anyone who puts themselves forward to help & represent their community deserves our respect, thank you to all who are standing.

To mark the 50th anniversary of UAE Armed Forces Unification @WelshGuardsBand recorded the UAE’s National Anthem at Wellington Barracks in London — a tribute of friendship and respect from the UK to the UAE. @Corpsarmymusic #ukinuae #ذكرى_توحيد_القوات_المسلحة50

Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum , we are launching today a new initiative to transform towards Agentic AI (self-executing and self-leading artificial intelligence) in Dubai’s private sector. Our goal is for Dubai to become the world’s leading city in adopting these technologies economically and commercially — giving us a new competitive edge for the future. The transformation program spans two years and includes specialized training tracks for all business councils affiliated with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We have also directed the Chamber to establish incubators for Agentic AI companies to support this transformation, create new economic opportunities for young people in this field, and set up dedicated funds to back this new shift. Our objective is to empower our companies to adopt these technologies that will boost productivity, expand business volumes, and reshape the city — making its economy the best in the world in adopting Agentic AI technologies. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid is today leading a comprehensive movement to reshape Dubai into the world’s most future-ready city — technologically, economically, in infrastructure, and with facilities that elevate quality of life to standards no one has reached before.

NEW: How many people really know who the UK party leaders are? We ran a representative poll of 5,000 British adults and showed them pictures of the main party leaders and asked them to identify them. Starmer and Farage top the poll, while only 12% know Rupert Lowe 👇

Great day raising funds for those in food poverty, thanks to all who supported this week @CountryFoodTr instagram.com/reel/DXyTx9VtA…

This week, on behalf of @EGIC_, I spoke at Security and Defence Days at @Europarl_IT, Rome — 'Europe and the New International Scenario' — organised by @DeGasperiFond and @MartensCentre. My message: closer EU/UK-Gulf ties are no longer optional; they are a strategic necessity.

What a wonderful speech by His Majesty King Charles III. A truly timely reminder of why our relationship with the USA is so strong and so vital for us all.

Food banks shouldn’t rely on near-expiry donations. There’s a better way - combining nutrition, sustainability & countryside management. Game meat could be part of the answer. Read more on the work of @CountryFoodTr 👉 digitaleditions.telegraph.co.uk/data/2416/read…
