The city where a Russian former spy was poisoned earlier this year will host next year’s Armed Forces Day celebrations, Theresa May has announced.

On Armed Forces Day, let us pause and give thanks to today’s Armed Forces, veterans and their families, and continue to give them our support, says Baroness Buscombe.

Theresa May has heralded a British company winning a multi-billion pound contract to build Australian warships as an “enormous boost” to the UK.

We need a national debate on this if we are to provide effective veteran services based on actual rather than perceived need, says Dr Hugh Milroy, CEO Veterans Aid.

Conservative MP Peter Heaton-Jones writes ahead of his Adjournment debate today on support for armed forces veterans, in advance of Armed Forces Day.

Gavin Williamson is set to ask Theresa May for up to £4 billion a year extra for the UK’s defence budget, it has been reported.

A former boss of the Army today accused the Government of “living a lie” over military resources as he demanded a big defence cash boost.

Theresa May should boost Britain's defence spending or risk losing influence with US President Donald Trump, a cross-party committee of MPs has warned.

Nato is facing a period of major upheaval, as Donald Trump’s unpredictable presidency lurches from one controversy to another, and developments in technology change the nature of warfare. As they meet in Brussels next month, Western leaders must be prepared to address fundamental questions about the institution’s future, writes Lord Howell

Vladimir Putin is seeking to demoralise and divide the West through the use of ‘full spectrum’ warfare. It is vital that we get to grips with it, writes Bob Seely 

A Labour government would strip private firms of their contracts to deliver services to the military, the Shadow Defence Secretary will declare today.

Armed Forces Day is an opportunity for the nation to show its appreciation. But it also a day to reflect on what more we can to improve the lot of our service personnel, past and present, writes Wayne David 

Those who keep us safe deserve support with the challenges they and their families face. It’s our job as MPs to make sure they get it, writes Ruth Smeeth

Our armed forces should have the equivalent of a trade union to address the issues causing poor morale, says Carol Monaghan

Northern Ireland’s veterans must get the full benefit of the Armed Forces Covenant and receive equal treatment to their colleagues in the rest of the UK, says Gavin Robinson

Gavin Williamson has been branded a “weasel” after he threatened to bring down Theresa May unless she gives more money to the military.

Gavin Williamson has threatened to bring down Theresa May in a row over defence spending, it has been reported.

It’s up to our generation to deal with the legacy of our out-of-service nuclear submarines. We need a properly-funded plan – backed by a strong cross-party consensus, write Luke Pollard and Douglas Chapman

Theresa May reportedly sparked “shockwaves” at a Ministry of Defence meeting by calling on Gavin Williamson to justify Britain's role as a “tier one” military power.

UK armed forces need an additional £20bn in funding if they are to stand up to Russia, MPs have warned.

Britain will be expected to lay out plans to increase its financial contribution to Nato when leaders meet next month amid growing pressure from America, it has been reported.

Ministers have a month to make the right call on the future of the UK’s defence before the MDP is published, warns Labour MP Luke Pollard. 

A senior defence minister has publicly urged the Government to reconsider bringing forward a statute of limitations for ex-servicemen, despite it being left out of a major consultation draft.

Dods Monitoring's Connor Smart sets out the current challenges for UK defence and predicts 'the way we look at and deal with defence will change and the debate about capability, funding and the ever-present politics will become a more mainstream agenda'.
