The Armed Forces minister says the £2.2bn increase in defence spending is necessary in "these more insecure and dangerous times". Luke Pollard adds the money will be put towards "more advanced weaponry, directed energy weapons, more business going directly to UK firms and improving defence housing". Report by Brooksl.

The Armed Forces minister has said the responsibility to end the war in Ukraine "is solely on Putin", as Russia and Ukraine agree to a Black Sea ceasefire deal. Luke Pollard adds, "we will continue to support our friends in Ukraine to guarantee their freedom and sovereignty for as long as it takes". On the leaked White House Signal messages criticising Europe, Pollard says President Donald Trump is "right" to call on European countries to step up on defence spending. Report by Brooksl.
