The UK is the third most targeted nation for cyber attacks - costing British businesses billions, not to mention drastic consequences for our public services.
John Pienaar @listentotimesradio.bsky.social, Government must act quickly and decisively to tackle threats to our #NationalSecurity.

The Defence Committee's duty is to scrutinise the Government's #defence policy & actions.
Recognising rising #threats, @lbc.co.uk @henryriley1.bsky.social, I welcome NATO-wide agreed spending promises, but as our report shows, we must accelerate investment to have any hope of meeting those targets.

Delight to visit #Slough Community Diagnostic Centre again with Chief Strategy Officer of Frimley Health James Clarke to see construction progress.
It will provide a vital service for local residents to get their test appointments and results rapidly—really looking forward to it opening soon!

#DonaldTrump’s original #PeacePlan is humiliating for #Ukraine, rewards the invader and harmful for our continent’s #security.
The #UK and our #European allies must be at the heart of negotiations - if we’re not at the table, we’ll be on the menu!

The first duty of any Government is to protect, but the findings of our hard-hitting Defence Committee report made for sobering reading.
Given the rising #threats level, TalkTV, rather than moving at a glacial pace and being sorry later, we must invest to be ready.

The Tories left an outdated council funding system that entrenched inequality, punishing deprived areas.
The Labour government is building a fairer funding system, but left-behind towns like Slough must be prioritised to get the funding we deserve.

Renters' Rights Act seeks to end insecurity, unfairness and extortionate practices by rebalancing the relationship in the #rental market.
Protecting #tenants and rewarding good #landlords, while targeting rogue operators, it’s a historic moment for a fairer system for all.

On behalf of the Defence Committee, deepest gratitude to all who’ve served and those in the #ArmedForces keeping us safe—we will honour their sacrifice.
They’re the best of us—putting themselves in danger and helping with disaster relief when deployed abroad like recently in #Jamaica.

A very sobering and informative visit to #Kyiv with the Defence Committee, as we were able to contextualise and strenghten our grasp on the challenges that #Ukrainians face.
For our continent’s security, vital that the #UK continues supporting #Ukraine against #Russian aggression (1/2).

Hence a pleasure to take part in Q&A session with Defence Academy Advance Course students, from the UK and around the world, who wanted to know more about our work in #Parliament.

Lack of direct rail between #Heathrow and Slough (onto Wales and the West) is nonsensical and leading to ridiculous routes!
Access to Europe's busiest airport should be efficient and environmentally friendly - why Western Rail Link to Heathrow is a must.
