Humbled beyond words to have been elected as the first ever Labour MP for The Home of the British Army. After over 100 years of Aldershot & Farnborough only electing Conservatives, we have voted for change. Thank you to my neighbours. I will give everything to repay your trust.

NEW: Aldershot MP Alex Baker has written a letter – signed by 18 other Labour MPs – urging the British government to “seize this moment” to engage with the new government of Nepal “to address the longstanding issues that Gurkha veterans have faced”. @itvmeridian

If we want to unlock the finance our defence industry needs, spend 3% of GDP on defence and still protect budgets for our schools and hospitals, the Defence Security & Resilience Bank is the only game in town. Read my words for The Observer observer.co.uk/news/internati…

In yesterday’s Defence Spending debate, I made the case for why the UK must join the Defence Security & Resilience Bank (DSRB) and unlock vital capital for our defence SMEs. To secure the future of our defence industry and stand strong against adversaries, the time to act is now.

Angeliki Stogia will be a fabulous MP for Gorton & Denton - but only if people vote Labour today to stop Reform’s toxic division. Let’s do this 🌹 🗳️

The message from Munich was clear: We cannot rely on outdated security assumptions. With @lukejcr and @CalvinBailey, I’ve written in @CityAM on why we need a multilateral Defence, Security & Resilience Bank to finance our industrial base, and turn resolve into real capability.

A DSR Bank could be as significant a legacy for this Government as NATO was for the Attlee government. Here’s my article from last year and a video below with more details. politicshome.com/opinion/articl…

We live in a dangerous world. The UK must meet this moment. Keeping Britain safe means backing British industry. That's why I'm campaigning for a Defence Security and Resilience Bank, working with our allies to help defence companies grow and deliver faster for our Armed Forces.

For the past year @lukejcr and I have been campaigning for the UK to be a founding member of the Defence, Security & Resilience Bank. Britain must now seize this moment and join charter negotiations so we can build the financial infrastructure we need to defend ourselves. 1/2

Canada was pleased to host discussions with more than ten nations today on the Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank — an initiative to bring together likeminded partners to mobilise capital and support collective security. In the months ahead, Isabelle Hudon, CEO of BDC will be working closely with international partners to lead Canada’s contribution in advancing the DSRB.

The Prime Minister is right to speak out after President Trump’s deeply upsetting remarks. We in the Home of the British Army will never forget the debt we owe to those who served and sacrificed for us in Afghanistan, standing shoulder to shoulder with our NATO allies.

Armed Forces Day is coming home! Having co-written our bid with @RushmoorCouncil and campaigned hard to make this happen, I am so thrilled we are bringing this national celebration back to the Home of the British Army.

Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧@DefenceHQ

Aldershot and Farnborough will host the #ArmedForcesDay 2026 national event! A Royal Navy Wildcat helicopter dropped into an Aldershot playing field to surprise students and celebrate the news. Rushmoor Borough Council will host events to thank the Armed Forces community next summer.

It was a privilege to attend the @OfficialShots Remembrance Weekend fixture vs Forest Green. It is always a special moment to lay a wreath on behalf of our community and hear the East Bank fall silent in tribute to The Fallen. ❤️💙

Proud to plant a Remembrance tribute for Aldershot, Home of the British Army, in Parliament’s Garden of Remembrance. It was made even more special by the Gurkha veterans and Chelsea Pensioners who joined me as we honoured all who have served and continue to serve with courage.

We are fixing forces family housing with a record £9bn renewal. And we are supercharging housebuilding on surplus Defence land: new homes for veterans, military and civilian families. Delivering for defence, delivering for Britain.

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders.

Digital IDs are long overdue. Too many people juggle multiple IDs to access disjointed services. Digital IDs can change that – making services more accessible and efficient. In Estonia last year, I heard first-hand how they made people’s lives easier. From a Times report on this
