In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel. This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide. I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Discrimination is completely wrong. I have never been guilty of it. Mass immigration is also wrong. But mass immigration is fuelling discrimination and hate. #Dublin

No enforcement. A consent is like an overdraft facility. Exceed your consent or breach it and you should pay a fee etc (in this case fines). It wont take them long to fix! #regulation #EA deframedia.blog.gov.uk/2023/…

The aerospace industry has a design philosophy fail proof and fail safe. It’s difficult to make something complex fail proof. But this didn’t seem to have a fail safe alternative apart from doing it manually. dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/…

UK airspace chaos explained - so could a CYBERATTACK be to blame?

NATS - the national air traffic controllers - issued a statement at 15:15 BST to confirm that engineers had 'identified and remedied the technical issue'.
