Six stood together. Six fell together. For over a century, they lay unknown. They stand side by side once more. Not forgotten. Not abandoned. Not lost to history. After 100 years, they finally came home. Lest we forget. 🌺🇬🇧 #LestWeForget

🚨Breaking News Rupert Lowe addresses the Restore army at Haydock racecourse. Sound not amazing but i was quite far back. Off to knock on doors now. This turnout proves that Restore are here to stay. Ive never known anything like it.🇬🇧🇬🇧

Glorious. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Rows of white stones. The price of freedom. Lest We Forget.

Afghanistan. Not every memory is of dust, heat and danger. Sometimes it was views like this. Beautiful.

200,000 small boat arrivals since 2018. 183,000 personnel in the entire British Armed Forces. One figure is growing. One is struggling to recruit and retain people. And we're told there isn't enough money to properly strengthen our military. Perhaps the issue isn't money. Perhaps it's priorities.

They marched into the unknown carrying that flag. Many were barely out of school. Some never came home. They didn't fight for wealth, fame, or followers. They fought so future generations could live in freedom. Whatever our differences today, we owe them our gratitude. Lest We Forget. 🌺 #WW2 #LestWeForget

I am looking forward to joining @RupertLowe10 in Makerfield on Saturday. Do not listen to the gloomsters. Vote with your heart and mind. Reform offers nothing other than the same old. The country cannot be saved by those who broke it. See you there at 9:30 am on Saturday!

The first duty of government is to protect its citizens. John Healy 👇🏻 “You have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats” Threats from every quarter. From organised immigration crime, sexual assaults, attempted beheadings. Even NATO has recognised illegal immigration as a national threat. Yet still they come.

Work hard. Pay your taxes. Follow the rules. Support your family. Contribute to society. Yet many people feel they're paying more and getting less in return. More pressure. More bills. More waiting. Less time. Less service. Less reward. Are ordinary working people getting a fair deal?

Iraq, 2006. I'll always remember Khatan and Talib. For seven months, I had the privilege of working alongside them. To us, they were colleagues and friends. To others, they were targets. They would often tell me about the dangers they faced simply for working with British and American troops. Stories of people they knew being threatened, attacked, or even killed overnight for choosing to help us build a better future for them. Yet every day they still turned up. One memory that always makes me smile is Talib calling me while I was back in the UK on R&R. He'd managed to get me an Iraqi SIM card. In 2006, texts cost around 5 cents compared to the prices we were paying back home. Funny thing was I'd just woke up from a night out and answered the phone to "chappie chappie chappie when are you back?" Nearly 20 years later, I often wonder where life took them. I hope they're safe. I hope they're happy. And I hope they know that their friendship has never been forgotten. Some of the bravest people I met in Iraq never wore a uniform. 🇬🇧🇮🇶❤️

"In an emergency, close your eyes and put your foot down." Written inside a Viking in Afghanistan. Health & Safety would have a meltdown, but Veterans will understand. 😂🇬🇧

Some journeys never reached home. For many families, remembrance is not about history books, parades, or ceremonies. It's about an empty chair. A voice no longer heard. A birthday never celebrated. A loved one who should still be here. Behind every name carved into stone was a son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, friend, or parent. Tonight, we remember not only those who served and sacrificed, but also the families who carry that loss every single day. We will remember them.

Afghanistan.... People see the Vikings. The armour. The weapons. The dust clouds stretching for miles across the desert. What they don't see is the reality. Six weeks living out of the wagon. Sleeping on camp cots, roll mats, or wherever you could find a bit of shade. The luxury accommodation was occasionally a space inside a FOB. More often than not, it was under the stars, hoping the lads on stag had remembered their brew and were actually staying awake. You learned to appreciate the simple things. A wet wipe wash. A hot non rat pack meal. A clean pair of socks. A few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Funny how your standards drop when you're living in a giant tracked vehicle in the middle of the Afghan desert. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. The conditions were hard. The days were long. But the friendships and memories forged out there will last a lifetime. 🇬🇧 #Afghanistan #Veterans

They were cold. They were wet. They were exhausted. And many never came home. When we look back at the Second World War, it's easy to remember the victory. What we often forget are the endless hours in trenches, foxholes, ruined fields and shattered towns. Young men carrying fear, fatigue and responsibility far beyond their years. They endured conditions most of us can barely imagine, so future generations would never have to. Their sacrifice bought our freedom. We remember them not because history demands it, but because they earned it. 🇬🇧🌺 #LestWeForget #WW2 #Remembrance

Great morning at the Armed Forces Community Network breakfast today. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and continues to support what we do. Every conversation helps. Every person who walks through the door matters. 🇬🇧☕️🌺 #Veterans #ArmedForcesCommunity

Afghanistan. A country of war to many. A country of memories to those who served there. Harsh. Beautiful. Unforgettable. 🇬🇧

It is right and proper that @RestoreBritain stands in the Makerfield by election. It is a political party and it exists to fight elections. It will not make a blind bit of difference who from the Labour Party leads that party. They are all awful. If Restore can poll well in Makerfield it will overnight become a threat to Reform and the Tories. In that event those parties have a choice. Up their game to see off the threat from Restore or risk being wiped out. That pressure is good for politics and good for the country. @RupertLowe10 has invited me to campaign with him and Rebecca Shepherd in Makerfield on 13 June. I am delighted to accept that invitation. I hope to see lots of Restore and Advance members on that day. Let’s get up to Makerfield and win this for the country!

6 June 1944. They were sons, fathers, brothers and friends. Many were barely adults. Yet on this day, they climbed into landing craft, aircraft and gliders knowing there was a real chance they would never see home again. They landed on the beaches of Normandy and fought their way into history. Not for fame. Not for recognition. Not for themselves. They did it so future generations could live in freedom. More than 80 years later, we still enjoy the liberties that so many of them never lived long enough to see. Today, we remember the courage, sacrifice and determination of the D-Day generation. The greatest generation didn't ask to be remembered. But they deserve to be. They stormed the beaches. We inherited the freedom. 🇬🇧🌺 #DDay #Normandy #LestWeForget

The view for thousands of hours. For many of us who served in Afghanistan, this was it. Not firefights. Not explosions. Not the moments that make the documentaries. Just endless hours scanning the horizon. Watching. Waiting. Staying alert. The threat wasn't always visible, but it was always there. Day after day, month after month, we sat behind weapons like this, looking across miles of dust and desert, making sure our mates got home safely. It's hard to explain to those who weren't there. How something so empty could demand so much concentration. How a horizon can stay with you long after you've left it behind. This was the office view for a generation of servicemen and women. Those who served will understand.
