Former Soldier. Proud that my last job on Whitehall was the Desk Officer to Ukraine. Putin must fall, no ifs, no buts. Ukraine is Sovereign.

Joined April 2009
Updated my profile picture. I was and remain honoured to have worked so closely with Ukraine's senior military. Seen here outside 10 Downing Street with their highest military delegation ever to have visited the UK. I stood with #Ukraine, I will always stand with Ukraine.

I am SICK of hearing this same robotic tripe from Reeves - black hole this, black hole that. The public sector is THE problem, not the private sector. Her assault on British business will have serious consequences. I put my frustration to Reeves in the Commons just now.

That’s one improvement @RachelReevesMP won’t be able to fleece us on. The quotes for 2 modest sheds will be filed in the bottom drawer now sadly. I feel sorry for the builders.

Thinking back to the reason I joined the @BritishArmy it was down to the superb #CCF (Combined Cadet Force) that I joined at @ShrewsburySch. The CCF is a proven recruiting tool for our Armed Services.

The final callover for us at Shrewsbury School as our last daughter leaves, heading off to the Army with a scholarship. Shrewsbury, like so many private schools is hundreds of years old, steeped in tradition, like the callover here where all the pupils parade past the headmaster
