I brought the Minister for Veterans and People, Calvin Bailey MBE MP for Leyton and Wanstead, to Frimley Park Hospital to meet the incredible military healthcare professionals working alongside our NHS staff.
Did you know Frimley Park is one of just five hospitals in the country to host a Ministry of Defence Joint Hospital Group Unit? This means military clinicians are embedded directly within the hospital, working alongside NHS colleagues to treat local patients and bringing valuable experience from military operations.
As we approach Remembrance, it's another powerful reminder of the contribution our Armed Forces make to our communities every day.
Having fought hard to secure Frimley Park's place in the first wave of the Government's New Hospital Programme, backed by £1.5 billion of investment, I spoke to the Minister about how we can build on this partnership and put resilience at the heart of our new hospital.

It was a privilege to take part in Aldershot Town Football Club’s tribute to The Fallen ahead of the Remembrance fixture at The Rec. This is always a poignant matchday, made all the more special by our cadets and volunteers from the Royal British Legion. It was also great to see The Shots rise to the occasion to win a much-needed and well deserved 3 points. I’ll be cheering Scott and all the team on in the weeks and months ahead.

This evening I did not support the Government in the Third Reading vote on the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.
We owe an enormous debt to the thousands of British Army personnel who served with honour in Northern Ireland during Operation Banner. They and the victims of the Aldershot Bombing in 1972 have been foremost in my mind while considering this legislation.
For over a year I have been fighting to ensure veterans’ voices are heard and pressing Ministers for stronger safeguards so that those who served our country are protected. I have brought veterans' groups into No10 and held direct talks with the Northern Ireland Secretary.
I told Parliament in the summer that I would reserve judgement on the Bill until amendments had been debated in the House of Commons. Thanks to the work we have done, I have secured changes that make this a better bill with greater protections for veterans. But I have always said that our veterans community must have confidence in this legislation and it is clear to me that test has not yet been met. That is why I could not support the Government and abstained.
As the Bill moves to the House of Lords, I will continue working with Ministers, veterans and colleagues across Parliament to ensure we get this right for our Armed Forces community. Those who served to protect lives should not spend the rest of their lives fearing repeated investigations.
Not voting with the government is not something I do lightly, but my first priority will always be our community and the people who sent me to parliament to speak for them. ... See MoreSee Less

Great to see the Irish Guards giving President Zelensky a special military welcome today! 🇬🇧🇺🇦
The 1st Battalion Irish Guards are based right here at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, so this was one of our regiments representing Britain’s support for Ukraine in Downing Street.
Another reminder of the important role our town continues to play in our nation’s defence and at this critical time for Ukraine. ... See MoreSee Less

Having campaigned hard for it, I’m delighted that a Youth Hub is opening in Aldershot and Farnborough this year, where young people can get careers and employment support as well as help with mental health, housing and more. 💼🏠
But parents have also told me about the barriers our neurodivergent young people face when looking for work. So I asked the Government how our new Youth Hub will ensure every young person gets the support they need.

I spoke to BBC Radio Surrey about the importance of getting a new Frimley Park Hospital built, and making sure it’s in a location that works for people across Aldershot, Farnborough, Blackwater, Hawley, and Yateley East.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new hospital for our community, and I want to ensure local people’s voices are heard.

As National Cadet Week comes to a close, I wanted to celebrate the fantastic range of cadet organisations we’re lucky to have here in Aldershot and Farnborough.
In the Home of the British Army and Birthplace of British Aviation, service and community go hand in hand, and nobody embodies that spirit better than our cadets and volunteers.
For a young person, being a cadet is so much more than an after-school activity. It’s an opportunity to gain valuable skills and qualifications, make lifelong friends and try things they never thought possible, all while being supported by volunteers who believe in them every step of the way.
So, to our cadets and the volunteers who make it all possible, thank you for everything you do for our community! 👏

Our historic lamps on Queen’s Avenue had been out for far too long.
I pushed for action, raising this with local authorities and getting UK Power Networks on site to carry out repairs.
A local win, bringing our historic streetlighting back to life.
