    NATO’s Article 5 has only been triggered once. The UK and NATO allies answered the US call. And more than 450 British personnel lost their lives in Afghanistan. Those British troops should be remembered for who they were: heroes who gave their lives in service of our nation.

    The @RoyalAirForce have continued to conduct patrols over Syria to help prevent any attempted resurgence of the Daesh terrorist movement. The RAF joined French aircraft in a joint strike on an underground facility on the evening of Saturday 3 January: gov.uk/government/new…
    Statement from John Healey MP, Secretary of State for Defence:

This action shows our UK leadership, and determination to stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies, to stamp out any resurgence of Daesh and their dangerous and violent ideologies in the Middle East.
 
I want to thank all the members of our Armed Forces involved in this operation – for their professionalism and their courage.
 
They were among thousands of British personnel deployed over Christmas and New Year. This operation, to eliminate dangerous terrorists who threaten our way of life, shows how our Armed Forces are ready to step up, all year round, keeping Britain secure at home and strong abroad.

    The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with

    We pause today to remember Lance Corporal George Hooley as he returned home to the UK. Before his passing, Lance Corporal Hooley wrote a letter to his family and friends to be opened in the event of his death. At their request, we now share his words with you. Our thoughts
    The coffin of Lance Corporal George Hooley returns home to the UK.
    Extract from George's personal letter home, shared at the request of his family.

'If you're reading this, it means I didn't make it home. Please don't let that be the thing that breaks you. You know I was doing what I believed in as well as loved, with people I respected, and for reasons that mattered to me, my country and democracy and freedom in this world. I was proud of what I was doing.

Don't remember me with sadness and loss. Be proud. I went out doing what I trained to do, what I chose to do, and I had all of you in my heart the whole way'.

    After months of silent service, Royal Navy submariners running a nuclear deterrent patrol have returned to UK waters. It was an honour to join them on board, and to meet their loved ones. Thank you for your service to our country — welcome home.
