We remember all those lost in war and those forever changed by conflict. 🇬🇧🏴

I travelled to Belfast today to attend the Royal Irish Regiment’s remembrance service at Belfast Cathedral representing the UK Government.
After the service it was good to speak with the Deputy First Minister about defence being an engine for growth in Northern Ireland too.

Today the second phase of Armada Way opens today.
For me, this project isn’t just about nicer pavements.
It’s all about being the catalyst for the regeneration of the city centre with 10,000 new homes, a new health village and getting the buzz back into the city centre.

Bloody loved Dear England at @TRPlymouth tonight. The story by @mrJamesGraham really could not be more timely with debate about Englishness, decency and conduct. Good to have a major tour begin in Plymouth and for the @NationalTheatre to bring its masterpiece to our stage.

This week I visited Bolton to announce a new £118m contract to double the UK’s deployable Sky Sabre air defence systems.
This investment will protect our armed forces and the UK homeland, support 140 jobs, and reinforces Defence spending as an engine for growth. 🇬🇧

Joined Devonport Councillors Anne Freeman and Bill Stevens at Pottery Quay for their annual summer beach clean. Huge community response and so many bags of rubbish collected.
There’s such a strong community spirit at Pottery Quay and they’ve got a clean beach again! Well done.

Despite the rain the Stoke Fun Day was great. Thank you to all the organisers for their huge efforts. The way the whole community pulled together to move events indoors showed the strong community spirit we have in Stoke. Thank you.
