Remembrance runs deep
From the quiet dignity of the services at our military cemeteries to the powerful parades led by veterans, cadets and serving personnel, every Remembrance event I have attended this year reminds me of the courage, sacrifice and hope of those who served and of the families who stood behind them.

I was honoured to attend the Royal Army Physical Training Corps pass-out parade in Aldershot yesterday 🎖️
Their brilliant facilities are a vital part of military life here, and something our whole community can be proud of. A great example of how civilian and service communities can come together in the Home of the British Army.

Our community has been underfunded for too long. I want to change that.🌳💚
As this Government scraps the old, unfair council funding formulas, I’m campaigning to make sure Hampshire and Rushmoor get our fair share.
We deserve properly funded local services, from children’s social care to homelessness prevention. I’ll keep fighting to make sure our councils get the support they need to deliver them.

Winning the bid to host Armed Forces Day next year is a huge moment for our community!
Having worked hard on this bid, I cannot wait to bring our community together, as we celebrate those who serve - both here in our towns, and right across the nation.

As we start to gear up for Christmas, I want take a moment to look back at another busy yet brilliant month here in Aldershot and Farnborough.
From community events, to school visits, and conversations on the doorstep - I’m always grateful for the moments I get to meet and speak to people in our community!

Residents still tell me how hard it is to get through to their GP on the phone, so I raised it directly with the Health Secretary earlier this week.
Our NHS Health Plan is improving access, but phone lines must stay reliable for the people who depend on them most.

As I listened to today’s Budget, my mind was on families here in Aldershot and Farnborough.
Getting the cost of living down and putting everyday people first has to be at the heart of everything we do.
So I was glad to see the Government tackling this, with measures like lowering energy bills, increasing wages and freezing prescription charges and rail fares.

🏥 There’s been a lot of speculation about the new Frimley Park site, but no decisions have been made.
What we do know is that we urgently we need a new hospital. The current hospital is crumbling and full of RAAC. That’s why, when I was first elected, I pushed to make sure Frimley was one of the first hospitals to be rebuilt.
I’ll keep standing up for local people and push to deliver the modern and accessible healthcare our community deserves.
