The right decision by NATO Allies and friends to send main battle tanks to Ukraine. Alongside Challenger 2s, they will strengthen Ukraine’s defensive firepower. Together, we are accelerating our efforts to ensure Ukraine wins this war and secures a lasting peace.

I promised to take action to make our streets safer for families across the UK. That’s why today we’re rolling out new police tactics and looking at bringing in new laws to stamp out serious organised crime, ridding our streets of violent gang members.

The whole country is shocked and appalled by the case of David Carrick. The abuse of power is truly sickening, and our thoughts are with his victims. The police must address the failings in this case, restore public confidence and ensure the safety of women and girls.
