Seven years ago today in Salisbury, a former Russian military officer and his daughter Yulia, were poisoned by Russian agents on the orders of Putin, with the deadly nerve agent Novichok. Both spent weeks in a critical condition in hospital. A Wiltshire police officer, Nick Bailey, was taken into intensive care after attending the incident. Later that year, my constituent Dawn Sturgess, an innocent member of the public, died following contact with debris casually discarded by the Russian agents. When we reflect on the loss of life and the audacity of Russia’s actions we should be left in no doubt about the character and outlook of Putin. In today’s changing world we need to build an enduring security arrangement with our neighbours in Europe to protect ourselves from future threats and attacks. Russia is not our friend and we must be prepared for all manifestations of their malevolence in future.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their
rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled
and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he
never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it.

France takes three times as many asylum seekers as Britain, Germany ten times as many. And neither is negotiating a deportation camp scheme with an African dictatorship.

If a Rwanda flight does take off…
Your bills will still be as expensive
Your wait for a GP/hospital bed will still be as long
Your court date will still be as delayed
Your taxes will still be as high
…but we will all be more more morally & financially bankrupt as a nation

Did you know the word ‘junior’ in Junior Doctor doesn’t mean young or unqualified
It’s simply the term for any doctor who is not yet a consultant or experienced GP
That includes this 40 year old who’s been a doctor for over 10 years
Please RT if you think everyone should know

MPs are in line to receive an above inflation pay rise of 7.1%
Yet the government don’t think junior doctors deserve more than 6%, despite a decade of real terms pay cuts
Please RT if you agree health workers deserve so much better
