I’ve always loved cricket, a game that unites the world. Today I had an impromptu game with my friends from the @gwtorg who do so much to support our Gurkha veterans. At over 12000 feet near Muktinath in Mustang, Nepal, I confess there weren’t many quick singles…

@NATO Defence & Security Committee is in Slovenia. UK rep @MarkLancasterMK said “It’s a privilege to be here marking 20 years of Slovenia being in NATO. I served in NATO peacekeeping forces in Kosovo and Bosnia and I'm very aware collective defence is as vital now as ever.”🤝

@MarkLancasterMK, thank you for reminding @GOVUK of both the "moral case" to support our Afghan allies & the fact that "if we are not seen to be a trusted partner" - future partnerships will be very difficult to achieve.@BritishCouncil @RishiSunak @EwartBiggs #AtRiskTeachers

I speak to residents everyday and our support is growing everyday too. It’s a special privilege to have these conversations and to exchange our passions and life journeys. To me - this is what democracy feels like - this is what politics should be. @MKConservatives

Such a tremendous honour to be the reviewing officer at the designation parade yesterday at 36 Engineer Regiment. I can’t believe it’s 35 years since 2Lt Lancaster served with 67 Sqn QGE in Hong Kong back in 1988 but great to have the Sqn back.
13th of July a designation parade took place with 36 Engineer Regiment and the Queen's Gurkha Engineers at Invicta Park Barracks. 20 Field Squadron was designated to 67 Gurkha Field Squadron and 61 Field Support Squadron to 20 Field Support Squadron. #Kent #Maidstone #Gurkhas
