This Remembrance Sunday, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
We must never forget them — nor can we forget the veterans and serving personnel who continue to protect our freedom.

On Remembrance Sunday, we come together to honour all who served our country and gave their lives for our freedoms. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
We remember those who fell, and those who came home forever changed by their service.

We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.
Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

Tying ourselves ever more to fossil fuels would only benefit foreign dictators like Vladimir Putin – which is probably why Farage is so keen on it.
