No child should have to live in fear of missile attacks. Today I met Ukrainian children and families affected by Russia's brutal aggression. Their courage is extraordinary. The UK's support for Ukraine remains unwavering.

I understand exactly what's happening - I've seen it before
The front runner being foisted on the people of Holborn by Labour to replace the former Prime Minister Keir Starmer in our Parliament was born in Somalia. Do you understand what’s happening?

Here's an extract from my new book Betrayal, about how Russian spies infiltrated Nigel Farage's party. It tells the inside story of Nathan Gill, a former UKIP MEP, now in jail, who accepted £££ in bribes to make pro-Russian speeches. Thanks @thenerve_news thenerve.news/p/luke-harding…

“We just want the bins taken out” Since May’s elections, new Green councils have put gesture politics above serving their residents. Great article on the reality of governing & how Green councillors have chosen to spend their first 100 days in office. thetimes.com/article/69558c8…

At the budget, @JohnHealey_MP should show not tell on fiscal credibility. Tweaking fiscal rules may free up some cash, but at what cost? Setting out how he’ll fund future spending will reassure investors & cut borrowing costs. Find out how on @LabourList labourlist.org/2026/08/fisca…

Happy Birthday to us 🎉 We're 933 years old today! On 11 August 1093, the first stone was placed by the then Bishop of Durham, William of St Calais, and 40 years later it was complete!

In Feb, Infantino asked Laura McAllister what she’d say at UEFA’s Congress if she was him on stage. “Get more women in decision-making spaces.” 6mo on, UEFA’s resistance vs him was led by two women. How they did + why football needs more @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7486666…

Today I’m announcing a major investment in our nuclear deterrent, supporting 22,000 apprenticeships. Keeping this country safe is the first responsibility of any government - but security isn’t just about what we build, it’s about who builds it. The submarines produced in Barrow protect us all, the jobs and apprenticeships they create change lives. This is Britain - reindustrialised.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The funding was originally announced in the Defence Investment Plan under former PM Keir Starmer earlier in 2026, with the work on the DIP having started a year prior, before Burnham was even an MP. x.com/DefenceGeek/st… gov.uk/government/pub… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We're incredibly sad to hear the news that our former manager Kevin Keegan has passed away. A legend of the game, Keegan led Fulham to the Football League Second Division title in 1999. He left Craven Cottage at the end of that season to focus on his duties as England manager. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this difficult time.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

It was an honour to attend today’s deeply moving ceremony remembering the service & sacrifice of those who fought in the Korean War, sadly known as the forgotten war. And to see my dear friend @borakwon being awarded honorary membership of @KORVAUK for her fantastic work.

#ArmedForcesDay celebrates the huge contribution our dedicated service personnel make to our nation. I am so grateful to them and all those who support them.   Looking forward to today’s event in Aldershot and meeting serving personnel, veterans, cadets, and the local community.
