What happens at election time? What's a canvass about? Why's Labour taking the British people for granted? Find out the answers to these questions with @JamesCleverly and me as we stroll through the streets of Hatfield

Great to be with a huge team of local volunteers chatting to Welwyn Hatfield residents about the forthcoming election. Good to see so many familiar faces on the doorsteps & meet new residents too. I set out my plan for Welwyn Hatfield. Have your say here:

If, under pressure, Starmer cannot even hold a consistent position on Diane Abbott, how can he and the Labour Party be trusted with our nation’s security at times of global threat?

We are taking bold action to protect and defend our nation in a more dangerous world. Starmer fails to have a proper plan to secure this country's future.

Over the last year the UK has: 🇺🇦 Sent our largest package of military kit ever.  🇺🇦 Increased Ukraine support to a record £3bn. 🇺🇦 Committed to continue that until 2030. We have pledged to continue supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes. And we can only do this because

The Unions are cheering after Rachel Reeves’ speech.  Labour have completely bowed down to their demands to import French-style laws that will cost British businesses £1,250 a year per employee. But as Conservatives we will stand up to unions and back business to create jobs.

Starmer has tried everything to convince you that the UK would be secure with Labour. But his pitch doesn't stand up to analysis. Watch and pass this on....

My thoughts are with Squadron Leader Mark Long’s family and friends at this tragic time, I offer them my deepest condolences. He will be sorely missed by all whose lives he touched.

The men and women of our Armed Forces are the best of Britain 🇬🇧 Those who volunteer to do their National Service as a military commission will gain incredible opportunities and experiences by learning from them.

Tragic news that a RAF pilot lost their life today. A reminder of the bravery & dedication with which our Armed Forces serve everyday. My thoughts are with his family and all those affected at this very sad time. My thanks to those involved in the response.

Every day that goes past without Labour saying how they’d protect our nation is a day where the world gets more dangerous. Only the Conservatives will take the bold action we need to strengthen our national defence:

Britain needs a Prime Minister with courage. But with Keir Starmer running away from six TV debates, how on earth could we trust him to have the guts to stand up to tyrants like Putin and defend our nation.

Our commitment to reach 2.5% of GDP on Defence means that we're able to plan future fighter jets, with long lead times, now. Meaning greater security under @Conservatives .

The stories of our DDay heroes can never be forgotten & I will ensure this year’s #DDay80 commemorations deliver on that promise. I was proud to join veterans on HMS Belfast today, alongside @GillianKeegan , as they inspired a new generation of schoolchildren with their bravery.

Putin’s total mobilisation of his economy is simply not sustainable. And he knows it. If all allies match the UK’s pledge to maintain support to Ukraine for the next 6 years we can exploit this weakness & make it impossible for the Russian economy to maintain its war effort.

The world cannot wait, Ukraine needs us to step up so they have what they need to push Putin back. That’s exactly what the UK has done today. A full breakdown of what we’ve rushed to Ukraine to support the men and women fighting on freedom’s frontline:

The UK has rushed 1 million rounds of ammunition, air defence missiles & drones to Ukraine’s frontline to help hold Putin’s army back. Russia’s new offensive must be a wake up call for the world so that every nation fast tracks their deliveries.
