No matter who becomes Prime Minister, our veterans can easily hold their own thanks to The Sun.
Their rights will be protected and the Tory Manifesto promises them that they will be upheld by both Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss.

That means a fully funded, fully staffed government office for veterans affairs, with a cabinet-level minister.
And the end of the nightmarish investigations into historical charges for those who served in Northern Ireland decades ago.
And our Veterans Pledge is not all that now unites the two contenders for No10.
Both say they will cut energy bills. . . Liz by cutting green taxes, Rishi by eliminating VAT.
Huge welcome. But we have to ask: why haven’t both already happened?
The abolition of VAT on energy was a much-praised benefit of Brexit.
Why wasn’t it done when we finally left the EU?
YOU SHOWER
HOW do the multimillionaires who run our failing water monopolies sleep at night?
We are faced with drought measureshose prohibitions and warnings to save water.

Restraining farmers means lower yields and higher prices – while retail bills are already rising.
Lack of rain is not the fault of these companies.
What is scandalous is that a quarter of Thames Water’s stock is leaking out, while the boss has cost £3.2million over the past two years.
Or Severn Trent seeping 446 million gallons a day into the ground while paying his chief executive nearly £7 million since 2020.
How dare these fatcats tell us to reduce our use? Why not lower their salaries and unearned bonuses and hire enough crews to fix more leaks?
Why does a utility company with a monopoly pay its boss? Eredivisie wage at football level right?
Nothing tarnishes the image of capitalism faster than precisely such abuses.
FIRE LINE
LITTLE witch sitter Keir Starmer is now caught in the crossfire between the unions he secretly supports and the outraged public whose votes he needs.
Yesterday Labor leader too late gathered the courage to fire Sam Tarryfriend of Starmer’s Deputy Angela Rayner, for having joined an RMT picket line in casual defiance of his order not to.
In all honesty, Tarry was merely expressing Labour’s true position.
Starmer and his party support the militants.
Their public fudge – supporting “working people fighting for better wages” from employers while absurdly blaming the Tories for the strikes – is a ruse to mislead voters that they are a “waiting government”.
People are not crazy. They know where Labour’s loyalties lie.
Not with the voting public, but with the hard-left wreckers who use them as cannon fodder in their endless disputes.
