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
