What we know about space, as with every other domain, is that there are adversaries out there who are developing the capability to disrupt and to harm our interests.

This century will depend on control of space.

Control of the waves was the essential ingredient in 19th-century deterrence.

What President Trump said yesterday wasn't new but I think it does provide absolute clarity that his position on this Chagos deal as currently drafted is not changing

We have to review the deal because the United States doesn't support it

Both the prime minister and I heard loud and clear on our first visits to Kyiv the importance of supporting Ukraine through this winter, as Putin prepares to use winter as a weapon by continuing barbaric attacks against civilian and energy…

And I think, 'great, here we are in the third decade of the 21st century it doesn't matter, brilliant'.

In my first week, someone in the MoD said to me: 'As a gay man, I'm really proud that we have our first gay defence secretary - It means a lot to many of us who remember the bad old days.'

An unbelievable volume, because people cannot cope with the idea that a gay person might lead the armed forces of the United Kingdom.

I have experienced more online homophobia in the last three weeks than I have in my entire life.

Ukraine is pushing the frontier of defence innovation as they bravely resist Putin’s illegal invasion.

What I think my resignation did that week was force choices for others.

I sort of went in with the aim of saying, I think we can show a different way of doing politics in terms of how we debate the future of the Labour Party and how we conduct ourselves in a contest.

I am proud of the fact that in my lifetime we’ve gone from gay people not being allowed to serve in the military to a gay defence secretary.

So, I’m absolutely confident that I’ve received no money from Sam Bankman-Fried.

Those donors did not include Sam Bankman-Fried and, in fact, the only donor that did have a connection to Sam Bankman-Fried has since confirmed that the money he donated was his own money, not Sam Bankman-Fried.

I’ve never met the guy. I’ve never spoken to him.

I’m confident that I’ve received no money from Sam Bankman-Fried.

I don't want anyone who has the ambition and talent to join our armed forces to be deterred, so it's contingent on us to make sure that we've got our act together.

We should never have been put in a position where prisons across the country were so full to bursting that any government, let alone this government, had to contemplate the early release of people from serious convictions that have led to…

I’m not expecting any of those people to think that early release is OK because it’s not OK.

There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for violence and thuggery to be directed to anyone in our society, whether that’s people seeking sanctuary in Britain or indeed the police that are trying to maintain public order.

We have a duty to uphold the very highest standards in uniform and to treat every woman with the dignity and respect she deserves.

I am absolutely sickened by reports of rape and sexual abuse of young female recruits at the Army Foundation College.

Our nuclear-armed submarines are essential to keeping the UK secure, acting as the ultimate deterrent to our adversaries in an increasingly dangerous world.
