The MoD has now entered the Pre-Election Period. As an affiliated Network for Defence and due to strict Government controls on external communications, our social media platforms will be much quieter than usual and remain so until the General Election concludes.

Blue Monday is a load of made up… 💩 (We said what we said) Celebrate ✨#BrewMonday✨ with us today instead! ☕ Blue Monday is just a marketing gimmick that feeds unhelpful stereotypes about mental health. Retweet and let's all agree, it can get in the bin 🗑️
Text reading "Blue Monday", but the "Blue" has been scribbled out, and "Brew" has been written above it.

Today we mark #WorldAIDSDay. It's a day to remember the millions of lives lost to HIV and AIDS, but also to celebrate the lives saved by the scientific advancements of the last 40 years. Compassion, science, and humanity has led the way.
