Here are some genuine fake news that the Whitehouse now spouts: 1. We have given over double what Europe has to Ukraine. ❌ In fact Europe has given more. 1/3
2.Zelensky claims he doesn’t know where half the donations have gone so they must be corrupt . ❌ A large proportion of aid has actually been spent by donor nations on their own replacements of gifted kit. So some large sums are “spin”. The US for example has sent only $100 bn of the $175 bn as direct aid to Ukraine. 2/3
and spent at least $25bn on its own replenishment. 3. Ukraine started the war..❌this claim is straight out of the Kremlin talking points. Russia invaded in 2014 and 2022. Putin’s amateur essay revealed it all the previous year. 3/4
I think what President Trump is learning is that if you have no skin in the game you don’t get to decide the fate of Ukraine. I am sure they all enjoyed their 4 hour talks today but they probably shouldn’t have wasted their time. 4/4

Dom’s rant tells you all you need to know about him - Firstly he always plays “the man not the ball”.That’s because of his deep insecurities and anger that the world doesn’t believe he is a guru. His tweet also reveals he is not the intellectual actual giant he thinks he is. 1/14
Apple’s decision to not continue Advanced Data protection in the UK does NOT mean your data isn’t protected. @NCA_UK @tomhfh @NCSC 2/14
There will still be Standard Data Protection, and your data will be encrypted and protected by Apple in the cloud but if requested by law enforcement it means they also have a key to it. It is only in the last two years we have had ADP and not many use it. 3/14

Slava Ukraini! We must never let Putin win and never stop supporting those brave men and women fighting to defend their country and us. As North Korean troops prepare to aid Russia we need to wake up and realise there is a real axis of evil and it threatens us all. 1/7
Will the budget give Defence the tools to do the job? To support our Allies? I doubt it. Labour had a choice. They chose to spend the money on other priorities. Some may say good but I say conflict is coming to the West and we need to be ready to stand up for our values. 2/7
An ill equipped armed force, hollow and without enablers ends up in Snatch land rovers. I fought and got £32bn extra for Defence on my watch. We need a continued rise through to 2030 to achieve all we set out in the Defence Command Papers. 3/7

Yesterday i was contacted by Hannah O’Grady, a producer at @BBCPanorama knowing I was due to appear in front of Judge-led Public Inquiry into actions by SF in Afghanistan over 10 years ago. She gave me 24hrs to answer 6 questions. She also knows I am no longer a Minister 1/8
so getting access to records from years ago takes time. But this isn’t really about the answers for the BBC I suspect. The questions are leading and inaccurate and some straight out of a conspiracy theory. She knows I am due to appear in front of the public inquiry on Monday. 2/8
I established this Judge-led Independent inquiry precisely to make sure we all got to the bottom of the allegations that have swirled around UK SF from 2010/11. In my time I appointed two former judges and a former Chief Constable to examine the case. 3/8

Міністр оборони Великої Британії Бен Воллес:

"Мої коментарі про те, як найкраще підтримати Україну, викликали великий інтерес та були дещо неправильно передані
Для протоколу: як людина, яка була в авангарді активізації підтримки України, я обговорював виклики, які можуть виникнути, коли ми працюємо над спільною метою – допомогти Україні отримати те, що їй потрібно, щоб перемогти це незаконне вторгнення.
Я говорив, що Україні іноді потрібно усвідомлювати, що в багатьох країнах і в деяких парламентах немає такої сильної підтримки, як у Великій Британії.

Це був коментар не про уряди, а більше про громадян і членів парламентів.

So there is a lot of rubbish being spouted about the PM’s trip to Ukriane. 1. Firstly these trips are organised in total secrecy. Very few, and i mean very few, people know the dates and arrangements. Russia is still launching missile strikes right across Ukriane . 1/5
2. Visits are sometimes necessary in person because not everything can be discussed securely over phones etc. Russia has an aggressive electronic warfare and signal intelligence operation. 2/5
3. The timings of such visits are usually a matter for the hosts but I know the PM wanted to visit before Nato Leaders summit in 10 days time. 4. As a Northern MP , myself i am not affronted by the fact he had to cancel speaking at the conference. The PM can remedy that 3/5

Let’s get some facts out there: 1. No one , at any stage has blocked a flight. This is a total myth and is being peddled around as if that is why the pet evacuation hasn’t taken place. 2. I never said I would not facilitate. I said no one would get to queue jump.
3. The issue, as those desperate people waiting outside the gates know too well, has always been getting processed through the entrances. It can take over 24hrs. There is no point turning up with a plane until the passengers / pets are airside.
4. As people were processed ARAP, LOTR etc they were called forward. Once processed and on the airfield they are marshalled on to a plane. As I have said we will facilitate at all stages but the priority will be people not pets.
