A privilege to meet veterans raising funds for @Royal British Legion in Hale Leys and Friars Square shopping centres. Their service is an inspiration to us all, and a vivid reminder of the debt we owe to those who fought in our name.
In the week we remember those who gave their lives in conflict, it was a privilege to visit Southwick Park with the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme today.
The terror attacks by Hamas on innocent Israelis were unspeakable atrocities. Israel has the right to defend itself within international law. But innocent Palestinians in Gaza are now suffering too, and in desperate need of aid. I raised local people's concerns in the UK House of Commons
It was a tremendous privilege to be in the House of Lords to hear the first King’s Speech for more than 70 years today. This is an important and highly symbolic moment in our national calendar, with much pomp and ceremony.
Convenience stores play an invaluable role in our communities. Todav I visited two, starting at Ash Service Station in Wendover. The staff there are doing an excellent job despite the frustrations of the appalling traffic jams outside caused by HS2 works on the A413. Ascona Group
Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy. Good to meet FSB Policy in the House of Commons to discuss ways to help firms in Aylesbury to grow - ranging from less regulation to better transport links and lower taxes. Look forward to working more with FSB Thames Valley
