Great to be at the International Armoured Vehicle conference this week at Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre! 🚗💥
Every year this event brings together industry, armed forces, and Government to discuss all things armoured vehicle. It’s especially exciting as our community play a key role in this sector, with every Army vehicle tested at Aldershot before going into service.
Proud to see our area helping lead these international discussions about defence.

Today marks 50 years since the Concorde’s inaugural commercial flight, a true milestone in aviation history! Farnborough played a crucial role in Concorde’s journey, through the pioneering work of the Royal Aircraft Establishment and historic meetings that brought the aircraft to life.
The Concorde first wowed the crowds with a prototype flying at Farnborough Airshow in 1970. It made over 10 appearances at the show since then, including its stunning displays in 1976 and final visit in 2000.
Farnborough's proud legacy as a co-creator of the Concorde continues to inspire. Here's to our town’s role in this incredible achievement! ✈️

It was an honour to welcome the Nepal Embassy team to Aldershot, home to the UK’s largest Nepali community, as they delivered vital consular services at the Shiva Cultural & Community Centre UK
This visit recognises the importance of our Nepali community and the Centre as a cornerstone of cultural life, while strengthening cooperation between local government and the Embassy.
I am deeply grateful for the Embassy's presence and for all of the local volunteers’ commitment to serving Nepalis in my constituency.

Really good news for Farnborough 👏
40 skilled local jobs have been secured at QinetiQ’s headquarters in Farnborough thanks to a new £205 million contract to support the RAF’s Typhoon aircraft.
Farnborough has a proud, world-leading history in aerospace, and it matters that QinetiQ was born out of this town’s defence and research heritage. From those roots to today’s headquarters at Cody Technology Park, this investment shows that Farnborough’s expertise is still central to keeping the country safe.
This contract helps make sure RAF Typhoon aircraft are ready to protect our skies and support our allies, while backing skilled jobs and local families right here in our community.
I will always stand up for investment that protects local jobs and builds on Farnborough’s proud aerospace legacy.

🚨NHS waiting lists at Frimley Park Hospital have fallen by over 19,000. That means thousands more people getting the care they need sooner, and less time spent waiting in uncertainty.
This is a really encouraging milestone for patients across our community.
This progress reflects the commitment of our NHS staff locally, backed by investment from this Labour government to modernise and rebuild our health service for the future.
There is still work ahead, but this is genuine progress for Aldershot, Farnborough, Yateley, Blackwater and Hawley - and one I will keep pushing to build on.

It was really exciting to introduce artists and makers from across Aldershot and Farnborough to our Arts Council England representatives this week at a special roundtable.
They were clearly impressed, and I’m pleased to say that they have committed to champion the arts in our towns, and to help develop our creative industries and invest in our vibrant and growing cultural community.
It’s the start of what I hope will be a very fruitful relationship. Big thanks to ACE, HCT, Rushmoor Borough Council and the West End Centre for making it possible.

Waiting lists are coming down.
Since July 2024, NHS waiting lists are down by over 300,000, including a fall of 86,000 in November alone, despite record demand and a tough winter.
This progress is down to the hard work of NHS staff and this Government's plan to modernise and invest in our NHS.
There's still more to do, but this shows we are turning the NHS around and getting it back on its feet. ... See MoreSee Less

People sometimes tell me our towns have lost their purpose or ask, “Why does defence still matter here?”
That couldn't be further from the truth.
From the world-class defence being made in Farnborough and deployed in Ukraine, to Aldershot, the Home of the British Army, with thousands of serving personnel - our towns still play a vital role in protecting our nation.
Defence helps shape our towns: our jobs, skills, and the opportunities for the next generation.
These are places built on purpose. I will always champion them and ensure that, as we deliver for the nation, we deliver for our communities too 💚
