Yesterday my son passed P Company and continues his journey to become a paratrooper and serve his new King. His hard work, determination, mental & physical robustness is admirable.

I was in the back of his vehicle the first time we got hit. His split second decision making saves many lives. The second time he took a direct hit to the face from an RPG. Coops and I pulled him out of his drivers hatch. Good to see him looking well.
Lots of stars at the Chelsea Flower Show today, but none bigger than this guy: @johnsonbeharry VC. A man who TWICE saved his unit in Iraq from ambushes, suffering serious injuries in the second attack. Great soldier, great man. @The_RHS

Me and many others were Double Crossed by a government that let vulture lawyers cash in when we fought for our country. My story is now being turned into a film. The next PM must ensure no British soldier is betrayed again.

Dealing with a mental health problem is hard. It can impact your job performance, parenting abilities, relationships, hobbies and self-worth. Another challenging layer. Stigma. This is the feeling of judgement when you mention your mental health state. #WorldMentalHealthDay18

This is a disgrace and another betrayal on those who served.
Today in London I attempted to persuade colleagues to remove visa fees for Foreign and Commonwealth Service personnel. Sadly, we were unsuccessful, and the Government will continue to make financial profit from those who have served our Nation and wish to live in it afterwards 💔

Today is the 15th anniversary of The Battle of Danny Boy. Ambushed, we risked our lives to save our comrades. For this, the government that sent us into battle allowed us to be pursued by shyster lawyers for over a decade. You can read about it in my book. Link in bio!
