At this time of year, we come together to honour the courage and bravery of the Armed Forces and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
I want to give my thanks to those who have served and are still serving today. I know you and your families make huge sacrifices to keep our country safe.
My job is to make sure that sacrifice is honoured, both through the way we treat our Armed Forces and our veterans, but also through the country we build for you and for your loved ones.
We will give our Armed Forces the funding and equipment you need to keep this country safe, as well as the good housing, training, and support you deserve. This is a world where once again it’s become necessary to stand up for our values and stand alongside our allies.
Our memories of those who went before us give us strength to know we will never be cowed in the face of threats or aggression. And together we will build a country we are proud to serve, and a future that remembers and honours those who fought for our freedoms.
A Britain worth fighting for.
Today, we pause to remember all those who have died in the service of our country, and expresses gratitude to the brave personnel who continue to serve.
We will never forget the sacrifice and service of those who defended our country and fought for our freedom.

No one who has served our country should be sleeping rough on our streets.
Last week’s Budget gave British families and businesses much-needed breathing space for today.
But what does that actually look like for you?
Over 20 million households will receive £100 to help with your energy bills. We’ve also extended the £50 VAT cut on electricity until July 2027 and are scrapping unfair gas standing charges.
If you drive, we’ve extended the 5p cut to fuel duty to July 2027.
If you’re working hard on the National Living Wage, you’ll get a pay rise of £910 a year from April.
If you’re saving for your first home, our Your First Home Scheme will help 70,000 people onto the property ladder.
If you’re a pensioner living on the State Pension, you won’t pay a penny of income tax.
If you’re a new parent, we’re extending parental pay to more than 160,000 more mums, dads and partners, including the self-employed.
And at the supermarket, we’ve cut tariffs on more than 100 everyday products, from baked beans to chocolate.
These are our choices. These are Labour choices, putting you first.
This Labour government is giving millions of families £100 off their energy bills. The Tories voted to block it.

Against a global backdrop of conflict in the Middle East, the UK economy is proving more resilient than expected.
My Budget built on that strength, delivering breathing space today and hope for the future.
This is a budget for working people.
People want to see an immigration system based on control, contribution, and which rewards those who play by the rules.
That is what Labour is delivering.
The Tories were a disaster for Britain's workers, borders and economy.
This week, Shabana Mahmood set out the fair solution to fix their mess.

The only way Britain can take control of its bills and bring them down for good, is to reform our energy system so we are less exposed to global energy shocks.
Last week's Budget was about giving people breathing space with the cost of living, while we continue driving towards cheap, clean power - with affordability as my number one priority.

The Tories' Brexit deal wasn't good enough.
The British people deserved better - and that is what this Labour Government will work tirelessly to deliver.
The Budget and OBR documents cover a lot of ground. Treasury minister Torsten Bell has pulled out five charts that bring the key points into focus, from the bigger picture on the economy to changes to energy bills and devolution.
Read Torsten’s Budget breakdown to find out how this Labour government is delivering breathing space for today, and hope for the future.
Five charts that explain the Budget, plus some reflections on the debate coming out of it – not least the importance of understanding that economic policy is about a lot more than tax and spend.
