@darrenpjones My god you do think you’re someone! Come back to earth!!!!! @UKLabour wake up!!!!!

Each department in government will now have its own delivery unit, led by a senior civil servant. And every Secretary of State and Minister of State will be given a new “delivery advisor” in their private office to support this work. These new delivery functions will be accountable to both their Secretary of State and to my team. This builds on my recent work setting up the new joint No10 and Cabinet Office Delivery Unit.

@EdwardJDavey Only you and Starmer would think otherwise, oh gosh, are you jealous for the ‘lack of’ an invitation?

Donald Trump has shown nothing but contempt for our country. Only Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage could think it’s a good idea to send our King to honour him with a state visit.

And that @Keir_Starmer is the reason we wore uniform! Shame on you and Hermer!

WHERE IS THE MOBILE PHONE?

@darrenpjones Leading statements and questions - not good Darren! Bad practice!

I’ve been down under asking Aussies what they think about their digital ID.

@Keir_Starmer 1. Who goes to the sands wearing a shirt and tie wearing a pair of black Oxfords to meet his troops? 2. Who goes to a region that he has failed to support? 3. Who ? Regardless of you political affiliations- Out of your depth…..! …and a dark suit at that! @Mr_Andrew_Fox

I was in the Middle East this week. Here’s why.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox He’d never be point man or out in front…. FACT

Starmer at the Strait of Hormuz

@DrChrisParry No, he didn’t - in fact I think he was walking to the car slipped on ice and banged his head before he even got in the car! In criminal interviews a lawyer would ask to stop an interview! Shocking!

Did you have your seat belt on and did the air bag inflate when you did that interview with Nick Ferrari this morning?

@_HenryBolton Henry I think if you look beyond the littoral word - his aim, is at the collective. You can have the millennium falcon but no x-wing fighters and it’s useless, a simple toy! ‘Arm it’ and it becomes a straight bat hitting sixes… His wording is not the best I agree!

President Trump has called the British aircraft carriers "toys". He's wrong. They are certainly not "toys". Carriers are difficult to compare. The Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth class carriers are smaller than the US Nimitz class ships but are significantly more capable than the US America class ships. In sortie generation rates (SGR - number of launches per day), the Nimitz class is at around 120, the QEII class around 72, the America class around 40, and China's Fujian around 100. The Royal Navy's problem is not it's carriers, it is the appalling lack of investment made into the rest of the Fleet. The RN has some of the best kit in the world, but one ship can only be in one place at one time. Why did Trump make such an inaccurate and insultingly derogatory comment? I can only guess that he a) wanted to embarrass Keir Starmer into investing more in the UK's armed forces and b) wrongly let his petulance at the UK's hesitancy to get involved in the Iran war get the better of him. What's embarrassed our country in his eyes, and in the eyes of the world, is not that the government chose not to participate in strikes against Iran, but that the appalling condition of our armed forces, their shocking neglect by successive governments, and the timidity of our politicians in acting pro-actively to defend our interests and support those of our allies, were laid bare. Below: HMS Prince of Wales, USS Nimitz and US America class and a comparison of the three classes in one photo.

@_HenryBolton Henry, I imagine it would be ready at 0600, in case the morning 3 mile run was faster, the need for coffee stronger and it had any errors that needed attention before 08… What do these staff officers do?

Staggering. What has the Defence Secretary been doing? He cannot possibly be unaware of the readiness state of Royal Navy warships after the debacle surrounding the deployment of HMS Dragon. I'd be wanting a daily readiness and operational status report on my desk every morning at 08:00. Royal Navy, Army and RAF.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Andrew, meet Spartacus! Or William Wallace or even Walter Mitty!

Looking forward to another day of platitudes from our ruling class. “I condemn these attacks…” “No place for antisemitism in the UK…” Blah blah fucking blah. If politicians actually cared, they would take action over empty words. That they do not take action says it all.

@SteveReedMP for the people of the UK - what domestic- #UK defensive capabilities do we have to protect our people and lands from any aerial attack? Tell us! Not overseas interests - the domestic UK lands! @DrChrisParry @jemmm85517813 @jaglancy

@darrenpjones Why are ‘you’there then? If each council ‘mayor’ can decide on each budget? Or are you there to agree spend and influence the spend? I’m sure the demographic is different in different parts of the UK… Of are you spending public money for unnecessary days out Darren?

We’re giving local communities the power to drive local change.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Andrew, I have to admit I agree with a lot of what you say, I can’t buy into this one… Europe without the US really is not a strong enough force. Primarily because it’s tied to politics and leaks…let alone tech! It plays its card ‘open forum’ too which as you know is naive!

*ahem* 👇🏼 We must stand up to America, and quickly telegraph.co.uk/gift/22e6bb1fc…

@gregbagwell The ‘Politician’ Force - We are simply the ‘silliest brits of many generations’… btw if I was @POTUS I’d be thinking what relationship I want with the UK and if indeed I want one!

Rumours abound that the MoD’s DIP was delayed until this YouGuv poll was out. Funding will now be apportioned according to the vote share. Treasury gets 41%….

@JohnHealey_MP John,keep talking nonsense, you won’t like the bark of the Russian dog without the American pit bull to protect you! @DrChrisParry @jaglancy

Disrupting, deterring and degrading Russia’s shadow fleet - and starving Putin’s war machine of funds - is a priority for this government and we will continue to take action alongside our allies.  (1/2)

@SkyNews Anyone who holds a @SkyNews interview from her bedroom really has mistaken the audience… #unbelievable

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson says we can't have "double standards" with the international rule of law. She compares the criticism of Putin invading Ukraine with the U.S. and Israel's strike on Iran, which she says very few countries have spoken explicitly about it.

@jaglancy Because we are defending our borders, wait, no we’re not! Because our NHS is the best in the world, err, nope to that too! Maybe because our economy is strong, ooops, nope to that! Hang on it’s because our Policing is on top of the rape gangs… No not that! Benefits James 💪

There’s a major war in Europe and the Middle East an over 50 significant conflicts globally, yet the Labour Government refuses to properly fund Britain’s Armed Forces.

@BlickyIan To be honest Ian I don’t blame them!

Well we are now fucked - totally as the US will I expect pull back from NATO or out all together - so when RAF mildenhall and Lakenheath relocate to the USA that's a huge amount of jobs about to vanish in Norfolk / Suffolk

@DrChrisParry Oh @ZackPolanski the ‘B’ is for berty or ‘F’ is for freddy- it is also a prefix classification of aircraft type - Just in case you do enter a debate and demand an answer (to avoid confusion obvs)! Just helping you understand should POTUS ring!

‘Must’ 😂😂😂😂😂
