I’m really pleased to be out on the doors with James Chesson for Compton, Labour’s candidate for Compton ward in May’s election. James is enthusiastic and genuinely cares about people and I’m looking forward to campaigning alongside him in the weeks ahead.

The safety of British people is my top priority. An update on what we’re doing to protect our citizens, support our Armed Forces and defend our interests in the Middle East 👇

I met with South Yorkshire Mayor @OliverCoppard to establish the South Yorkshire Defence Growth Deal. This £50 million investment will grow defence capability and create high-skilled jobs across the region – making defence a true engine for growth. 🇬🇧

As part of a £1.4bn national flood defence push, we’ve secured over £3m for the Arnold’s Point Stage 2 flood wall and Sutton Harbour lock. This investment will protect local homes & businesses from extreme weather and rising sea levels.👇 lukepollard.org/news/2026/03/1…

The UK is stepping up for our partners in the Gulf. Defence Minister @LukePollard convened 13 UK defence companies alongside Gulf ambassadors and defence attachés to explore urgent defensive support against Iranian drone and missile attacks. UK industry is ready to deliver.

For a decade, young people have been locked out of the workforce. No more. I’m welcoming a £1bn boost to create 200k jobs and transform apprenticeships. For Plymouth, this means new grants for SMEs and a guarantee for 16-24s to earn or learn. Full story👇: lukepollard.org/news/2026/03/1…

On Friday in Berlin I signed a new agreement with Germany to jointly develop Deep Precision Strike, a family of cutting-edge missiles. The UK-Germany relationship is incredibly strong, and this now marks a step forward in our work together. 🇬🇧🇩🇪gov.uk/government/new…

🚨NEW: For rural communities, like many in the South West, recent rises in heating oil prices are a real and urgent problem. 🌹That’s why this Labour Government is putting over £50m of support to help the people who need it most. 👉 Find out more: gov.uk/government/new…

Today in the House of Commons I outlined some of the ways that we are investing in defence. Defence is an engine for growth, in Plymouth and across the country.

The £50 million Scotland Defence Growth Deal will create good, well-paid jobs for young Scots and support large and small businesses across the country. 🇬🇧 @lukepollard explains during last week's trip to @nmis_group and @ThalesUK in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I will always make decisions in the national interest. That’s why we did not join the offensive action against Iran.    Reform and the Tories would’ve rushed us into war without a plan to get us out.

Good news for our NHS and Plymouth patients!🏥 NHS national waiting lists fell by 43k in January In Plymouth, we're investing in the future with: New City Centre Diagnostic Centre✅Shorter A&E waits✅ Faster ambulance responses More here👇 lukepollard.org/news/2026/03/1…
