The first duty of any government is to protect the defence and security of our country. But not under this Labour government. Keir Starmer and his Chancellor have put welfare spending over the defence of our country. In these dangerous times, this is a gross dereliction of duty

No one should have any sympathy for the Iranian terrorist regime. It is a regime that has caused so much terror and has blood on its hands — the root cause of so much destruction in the Middle East for so long.
