This morning, I had the great pleasure of meeting representatives of the Taxi Charity For Military Veterans for Military Veterans like Ian, Simon and Bill who are collecting funds alongside Chelsea pensioners like my good friend Alf originally from Patchway, Peter and Nobby.
On Tuesday, I asked the Defence Procurement Minister James Cartlidge MP what can be done to speed up defence manufacturing and cooperation between British and Ukrainian companies in order to get material produced in-country and improving Ukraine’s defence manufacturing capability.
Delighted to visit The Brightwell Centre again today, an organisation which plays a vital role in supporting those with chronic neurological conditions.
I witnessed the incredible work they do, from oxygen therapy to physiotherapy.
Great to be in Kent today campaigning for Matthew Scott, PCC for Kent ahead of the 2nd May PCC elections, where I had the privilege of visiting the remarkable Royal British Legion Village in Aylesford.
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of seeing Sally Cordwell again and meeting Amy Seadon at Aerospace Bristol in Patchway. Amy designed and put together the Britannia and Concord exhibits and showed me around the excellent and extensive archives at the museum.
Last week I visited Ukraine, not only to show our support in this time of war, but also to discuss further collaboration between British and Ukrainian defence sectors so that the Ukrainians have the tools they need to win.
