In these anxious and global unstable times found by the polarising flames of social media, we all need some constant reassurance in our lives. Imagine that Queen Elizabeth ll was that constant.

Boris Johnson shared that view and handed us the biggest settlement since the Cold War. He recognised that we needed to invest in our armed forces and not to manage decline. On Liz Truss, our new Prime Minister, has gone even further and done what will be needed to finish the job. When she was Foreign Secretary, she knew what the threats were out there and she knew the influence that Britain's armed forces delivered around the world. But she also knew that defence can't live on historical reputation alone. It needed real investment for the first time. The government would move it up their priority list. The Prime Minister's pledged to invest 3% of GDP by 2030 is what we needed to keep this country and our allies safe. Liz Truss knows that it's not a discretionary choice but a necessity. The instability and security we see around the world will not go away by itself. On Friday, President Putin illegally annexed part of Ukraine, another European state. To accompany this occasion, he delivered another tirade at the world. He did this at his very moment. His own poorly equipped troops, appallingly led, were being routed from the east of Ukraine. As countries around the world condemned his actions, he attended a concert cheered on by busting crowds. Ridiculous as his homophobic anti-West ramps were, what he didn't say was just as interesting. He never addressed the tens of thousands of Russian widows and mothers whose young men were sent to their deaths by incompetent generals and because of his illegal invasion. Or more than the 50,000 injured personnel he is frightened to visit. He didn't address the charges of war crimes his forces have been involved in. Because for President Putin there is no going back. His intentions are clear. He will not stop in Ukraine. He will push west. His own essays say as much. He genuinely believes in some czarist and peerless destiny to unite the supposedly ancient people of Russia. By all the means of disposal, he seeks to pursue ethnic nationalism in a way we haven't seen since the 1940s. Be under no allegion, he is dangerous. Ukraine says they are fighting not just for themselves but also for us. And they're right. It is why we must stand strong beside them. It is why we must not let brutality and disregard for human rights triumph over the values of all we hold dear. And our response matters because the world is watching. The question some will be asking is does the international community have the determination, the unity and the resilience to stand up for each other and for the rule of law? Well, to date the answer is a clear and a resounding yes. In February this year, the day after Russia's invasion, I held the first international donor conference on Ukraine to coordinate military aid. We're 25 countries and attendants from across Europe. And that rapidly grew to 35. And the aid to Ukraine is not shrinking, it is growing. Last week I visited Ukraine again to see what more we can do. Despite the attacks, they are strong and they are winning. I'm proud to say that the British weapons like the N laws are helping to make a real difference. But as well as British hardware, we are helping with our training as well. We committed to training 10,000 Ukrainian troops this year and we are supported by Danes, Finns, Swedes, Norwegians, Dutch, Canadians, Estonians, Lithuanians and New Zealanders all here delivering for this challenge. And I'm pleased to say that we are committed to training next year of further 20,000 or 30,000 troops as required. President Putin must see the folly of his invasion. His army is broken, his international reputation is shattered and Russia's standing in the world is lesser than it was. His errors are strategic. Instead of discouraging NATO, he's pushed Sweden and Finland to join it. No one made them. But seeing Russia's behaviour changed the long-standing positions of two countries who for decades were wedded to neutrality. I'm delighted they're now joining NATO. But how unnecessary his invasion has been and at a cost of huge suffering to all in Ukraine and wider. But Putin's reactions are wider than just Ukraine. His reach goes further. This week we saw the mysterious damage inflicted to the Nord Stream pipeline. And it should remind us of all how fragile our economy and infrastructure is to such hybrid attacks. Our intent is to protect them. Our internet and energy are highly reliant on pipelines and cables. Russia makes no secrets of its ability to target such infrastructure. So for that reason I can announce we have recently committed to two specialist ships with the capability to keep our cables and pipelines safe. The first multi-role survey ship, the Seabed Warfare, will be purchased by the end of this year. Fitted out here in the UK and in operation before the end of next year. The second ship will be built in the UK and we will plan to make sure it covers all our vulnerabilities. We have no time to lose. The Prime Minister has determined to invest in defence. Stand up to Russia, stand by Ukraine and prepare us to face the threats for tomorrow. The reality is we can't afford not to invest 3% of GDP in defence. And our Prime Minister understands that. To do so would imperil our security and risk having armed forces out of step with their peers and more worryingly out of step with our enemies. Conference, I know times are tough up and down Britain. People are struggling with the effects of global inflation and rising interest rates. Sadly we're not alone in this. Across Europe and the G7 the cost of living is going up and up and service personnel are no different. That's why this year I've rolled out free wraparound childcare for all in the forces. It is why I've frozen the daily food charge for our personnel and capped rent increases at 1% for service families. If we don't look after the people in our armed forces the most important equipment of all then what is the point of having our armed forces? As well as helping with the cost of living the Ministry of Defence is one of the key drivers of economic growth across the UK. We support 219,000 private sector jobs with more than £20 billion of investment in equipment and support every year. Here in the Midlands in Telford we're making the new challenge of three turrets and boxer armoured vehicles. And in all defence spending contributes to over 400,000 jobs in this country right across the union. We're building ships in Scotland manufacturing armoured vehicles in Wales and assembling the now world famous N-Law anti-tank missiles in Northern Ireland. Bringing new jobs, investment and opportunities to every part of the United Kingdom. There is more to do. Conference for those who think that the solution is to turn to labour however I would say that now is not the time to deploy Captain Mannering and his platoon to help with our nation's defence. You can see the Labour Party now Captain Keir Mannering marching around his bunker in Islington with Sergeant Blair Wilson whispering in his ear and Private Corbyn Godfrey telling us how doomed we all are. But you know Mr Stalmer investing in defence and supporting our troops requires a lot more than waving a union jet. You have to actually fund them. You have to actually recognise that if the threat changes, so must the investment. In the world we live in today, there's no place for Labour's home guard amateurs. So Mr Stalmer, will you match the Prime Minister's pledge of 3% of GDP by 2030? Will you put your money where your mouth is? Before I end, I want to pay tribute to my team at defence. I've been incredibly lucky as Secretary of State to have had such excellent ministers. I want to thank Jeremy Quinn, Leo Docherty and Suzanne Webb for the work they have done. And I'm sorry to see Johnny Mercer leave the government. But I also want to welcome Sarah Atherton and Alec Shelbrooke to their posts. They will do an outstanding job. Our PPS Ian Levy, Mark Eastwood are also key and have valued contributors to the team. For that is what it is, a team in defence. To conference, whatever they were old may throw at us in the next few years. And no-one says it's going to be easy. You can be sure that this team alongside the UK's armed forces will be working day and night across the globe to defend us and keep our allies safe. Thank you very much.
