Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by UNESCO. Unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes flagrantly, sometimes in hidden ways. Let us remember the many journalists and reporters who are victims of war and violence.

Nuclear submarine sets Royal Navy record for longest patrol after 205 days - my story with @jeromestarkey: thesun.co.uk/news/38863010/…

@jeromestarkey's global reach receives another fillip...

@TomSharpe134 @ConGeostrategy You're back!

Great discussion and a privilege to be a part of. 🫡@ConGeostrategy ➡️Had a v interesting chat with Gen Kristoffersen. Private, but an eyeopener in terms of the differences between Norway and us. Across the board.

Today the @DailyMail published the findings of my two-year investigation "The Brass Pass" into the hidden epidemic of domestic abuse suffered by military wives and girlfriends. A dossier of 52 cases reveals torture by Army men against their wives.

Militrary wives tortured by Army husbands using battlefield methods. My story in today's Mail on Sunday. If you've been a victim of the MoD's "nasty, big secret", please contact campaigner @NataliePage: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Well this is interesting. 🚨 A sanctioned Russian oil tanker LITEYNYI PROSPECT is chugging don the Channel the day after Kier Starmer warned boats like this in UK waters would be boarded. Currently off Eastbourne. Will Poole or Lympstone prove more challenging?

Germany to the rescue. (That's what allies are for).

HMS Dragon to set sail from Portsmouth shortly. The journey to Cyprus takes five additional days.

A reminder... without women, there was no Bletchley Park. By January 1945, women made up 75% of the workforce, taking on roles across almost every level of the organisation - from operators and linguists to engineers and analysts. Their contribution reflected a wider shift across wartime Britain, where millions of women stepped into vital roles in industry and the armed forces. Yet despite their expertise and dedication, many faced official and societal scepticism and barriers to progression - particularly in technical and senior positions. Today, we celebrate their skill, resilience and lasting impact. Discover their stories and the difference they made by visiting Bletchley Park. #BletchleyPark #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #GiveToGain
