Hi Alex, I hope you’re keeping well. As I’ve said before, while we may not always see eye to eye on government policy (which is the essence of healthy democracy), the energy and commitment you bring to supporting local causes and shining a light on underrepresented communities is genuinely commendable. In these polarised times, it’s heartening to see an MP working across divides and giving a voice to those who aren’t necessarily always heard. I’m glad to see you highlighting the Fijian community in Aldershot and their longstanding contribution to the British military. One name that stands out and deserves wider recognition is Sgt. Talaiasi Labalaba. His actions in Oman were extraordinary, and while complications at the time may have shaped the original citation, I personally feel the case for a posthumous VC is long overdue. www.specialforcesroh.com/index.php?threads/labalaba-talaiasi.4665/ Thanks again for your continued work in the constituency. It’s noticed and appreciated.

18-19 of July ... I'll be there

How lovely ☺️

Why no surgery in ALDERSHOT? no phone number on leaflet through only Houses of Parliament leaflet through the door. The Conservatives had a surgery once a week.

Alex You have just touched on a couple of historical areas which we can all see just about every day throughout our daily lives. You will no doubt be aware that Aldershot itself goes well back to Pre-Saxon Times with the Parish Church having a whole lot of historical connections of its own. The first military camp set up here in Aldershot for the training of her Majesties troops in perpetuity has historical content from that time which can be found all over the former campgrounds. Redan hill itself is named after a temporary fortification for the night either a Redan or a redoubt. Most of the street names were named after people and that covers the whole area including the civilian areas. The Barracks themselves were mainly named after areas of conflict as far back as the Napoleonic era and beyond, here again the subject matter is breathtaking. We ignore it at our peril as recent conflicts reflect quite well areas of the world where Queen Victoria's empire stretched. From eastern China (Taco Forts and Chinese Gordon, later Gordon of Khartoum) to the eastern states of what became the USA when Upper and Lower Canada were areas of the world where business and influence was conducted from England. See the war of 1812 for references to how and when the presidential palace was burnt down only to be covered in whitewash, hence the “White House” so that America could proclaim that it had never been invaded Even the Farnborough historical sites originated in Aldershot with the Cody Flier being built here in Aldershot inside of the Black Shed which was moved from the original RE Gibraltar Barracks area to Laffan’s Plain so that powered flight could commence. Cody has historical events which all came from the Ballon Establishment where Browning Barracks now stands with a memorial inside that area called "Balloon Square" where man flying kites were developed. It would e impossible to cover any of Aldershot's history in any great depth without recognising that this small village that became the town that it is today based mainly on history that it contains. Sadly none of the names of these historical sites or people are duplicated on road, street or building names that could introduce the youngsters of today as to how important a location within the history of the British Isles this small market town which nestles within the Hampshire Hills is to this country even though most of the largest of the Seven Hills that surround us are actually in Surrey. In this respect Aldershot rivals ROME??? Boring it isn’t Roger

Absolutely, these buildings reflect the historic nature and architecture of aviation development in Farnborough.

Did you get her autograph. I would have Make a little collection of all the ministers over your 40 year career in parliament .. nice souvenir for the study wall and better than collecting spoons. 😁

No point in commenting as our MP doesn't do replies ...

“Best start in life” for every child? Unless you’re a child in an independent school then you can be taxed out of your school by labour and ignored by the local authority having been denied a place at the school you’ve asked for! Is that your definition of the best start in life?

What is the consultation process please

Tragic for the family, root cause needs to be addressed in parliament and actioned.

I’d like to understand how the water and power necessary for cooling all those data centres is going to be provided sustainably and without affecting locals please?

Glad to be part of this expansion with DRS establishing a UK development and support centre in conjunction with our UK partners Tactical Support Solutions at Cody. Great place for technology companies to- the UK is desperate for more of this sort of development!

How about a data center used for heating our new Olympic size,half size or paddling pool if it ever happens.

Alex Baker MP - do you think Keir Starmer should tell Netenyahu to stop the genocide in Gaza or should he turn a blind eye. I am one of your constituents.

But it’s taken a year for another photo shoot by a road sign. This tells us nothing.

Let's just see now if labour make a second term in Rushmore
