The Tories in Government:
❌Defence spending cut
❌27k Army troops cut

This evening I’m on the Labour front bench for the debate on defence.
Some high quality contributions from all benches discussing the Conservative cuts to our forces since 2010, the falling morale and growing threats to the UK. It’s on until 10pm.
Any hostile action against our Armed Forces is utterly unacceptable.
But the MOD's data security record is getting worse while threats against the UK rise - with a three-fold increase in MOD data breaches over the last 5 years.
Such flaws in our cyber-security must be fixed.
The data hack on armed forces’ personnel is very concerning.
If you’re a member of the forces or a veteran in

and have been affected by this data hack please get in touch with me: Luke.pollard.mp

Our Forces put their own security at risk on the frontline. The last thing they should have to worry about is their own data security at home.
Their protection must be the first-order priority for the Defence Secretary.
An Israeli offensive in Rafah is a profoundly concerning moment in this awful war. The operation risks catastrophic consequences for the people of Gaza.
Now more than ever, we need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of hostages, and immediate unimpeded aid to Gaza.
The Conservatives will tell you the country is turning a corner and that everything is fine.
But after 14 years of chaos from the Conservatives, do you feel better off?
The choice at the next election is clear: change with Labour or costly chaos from the Conservatives.
So many serious questions for the Defence Secretary on this, especially from Forces personnel whose details were targeted.
Any such hostile action is utterly unacceptable.
Parliament will expect a full Commons statement tomorrow

It really is a very special place full of talented people.
Happy Birthday TR2! Keep telling your incredible story.

TR2 turns 21! 🥳
Our Production and Learning Centre was officially opened on this day in 2003.
We'll be celebrating this milestone throughout the year, so keep your eyes peeled for more 👀
Every year I publish a list of 10 Plymouth buildings at risk with the challenge to the owners to invest in them or sell to someone who will.
Really pleased that the Raglan Gatehouse is coming off that list with a proper redevelopment returning it to use.
With more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering in Rafah, an Israeli offensive must not go ahead.
There must be an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded aid into Gaza that can be delivered regularly, quickly and safely.
An Israeli offensive in Rafah would be catastrophic. It must not go ahead.
We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of hostages, and immediate unimpeded aid to Gaza.
My latest op-ed👇
“Our unelected Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak has frequently stated that the only poll that counts is the one on election day
Well on Thursday, the electorate in Plymouth sent a clear message that it’s time for him to go – and go soon.”
The ConsrvativeHome verdict of the results — and remember this is THE convening place for the party — has a very clear view of the interpretation of Thursday, and it’s very different from that of CCHQ
Whether it's knocking on doors, stuffing envelopes, delivering leaflets, coming to our fundraisers or many other campaigning activities
