I was delighted to celebrate Armed Forces Day with servicemen and women, and Labour Leader Keir Starmer.

Our Armed Forces play a crucial role in defending our communities at home and abroad. They showed total professionalism with their support for our community during the pandemic and continue to play a crucial role in defending the UK and our NATO allies from Russian aggression.

Labour backs and thanks our Armed Forces. We would halt army cuts now and strengthen support for veterans, boosting mental health support by £35m.
