Shocking Russian drone attacks on Ukraine over the last 24 hours. I’ve directed for UK deliveries of air defence and counter-drone systems to be accelerated as fast as possible. We stand with Ukraine in the face of Putin’s aggression. Our thoughts are with Ukrainian families.

The Armed Forces played a major ceremonial role in the State Opening of Parliament today. Nearly 1,200 military personnel and 200 horses took part in escorting Their Majesties The King and Queen from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords.

The UK is committing HMS Dragon, Typhoon jets, autonomous mine-hunting systems, backed by £115 million in new funding, to secure the Strait of Hormuz. Today, @JohnHealey_MP co-chaired the first ministerial meeting of a 40-nation coalition. Multinational, credible, and ready to act.

Congratulations to @16AirAssltBde and @RoyalAirForce on a breathtaking airborne operation into Tristan da Cunha. Supporting Britons in one of the most remote communities on Earth is testament to the UK's commitment and capability, and a masterclass in force projection.

Essential aid delivered from the sky. Members of the Parachute Regiment parachute on to the remote island of Tristan da Cunha. They mark a drop zone then call in an air drop of essential medical supplies from the RAF. 1000s of miles away in the middle of the Atlantic…only they could do it…to the Parachute Regiment we salute you! 🫡🫡
