From Windmill Hill to Bawley Bay, from Meopham to Riverview, today I joined communities across Gravesham in remembering those brave men and women who gave their all for the freedom we have today. #WeWillRememberThem #RemembranceSunday

Deeply moving to attend Maryana Bodnar’s exhibition, “Lullaby. In the Arms of War.” Her incredible photography captures the heartbreak, courage and human suffering behind Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine. A powerful reminder for why we must never look away. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Slava Ukraini! God Save The King! 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦

Lovely to spend some time catching up with the wonderful ladies Higham’s Knit and Natter group, who have been incredibly busy knitting blankets, toys, hats and other lovely items for the orphanages and children’s facilities we proudly support in Ukraine. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦

Some personal news! Incredibly humbled that my colleagues voted to award me the Freedom of the Borough. As someone born and bred in Gravesend, it means the world to be awarded the highest honour my community can bestow. Serving my hometown remains the privilege of a lifetime.

Very much thinking of everyone in the Chernihiv Region after the devastating attack that has injured many. Children are once again amongst the dead. When will the world wake up and take action against the Russian Terrorists. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Not every day do you find yourself in a medieval crypt in Kent, interviewing one of the defining voices of Ukraine. It was truly a privilege to have you with us #SadSvit - An unforgettable evening raising funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine 🇺🇦 #UkrainianMusic @UkrEmbLondon

War Crimes. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Four years ago today, we were coming to terms with the loss of Queen Elizabeth II. Securing this statue by Douglas Jennings for Gravesend, unveiled during Her Late Majesty’s lifetime, remains a source of immense personal pride and honour.

Like many across the Gravesham community tonight, I am deeply saddened to learn of the fatalities in Cobham. My thoughts & prayers are with the families & loved ones of the victims. @kent_police are appealing for witnesses: kent.police.uk/news/kent/lat…

Following Leipzig, we must see stronger resolve in Europe. Russia wages an illegal war, commits war crimes, abducts Ukrainian children, slaughters their own and threatens peace in Europe. Time to slash their diplomatic footprint & hold enablers of Russian crimes to account.

Huge congratulations, @Katie_Lam_MP. At a time of huge change for our councils and an unprecedented assault on planning protections, local gov needs strong advocates in Westminster who understand that the services we deliver matter and that local voices must always be heard.

There should be no hiding place for Putin’s propagandists — including those at @RussianEmbassy spreading Kremlin disinformation. Sanction them. Freeze and seize assets. Expel ‘diplomats’ abusing their status. If you help justify Russian war crimes, there must be consequences.

Absolutely horrendous. My thoughts are very much with the people of Chernihiv today. Another innocent family murdered by Russia’s brutal and illegal war against Ukraine. There has to be accountability for these savage war crimes.

A huge thank you to The Rt Hon. @KellyTolhurst for visiting us at Gravesham @Conservatives to discuss Local Government Reorganisation & the future North Kent Council. Fantastic to see many members turn out, including new faces, bringing energy, ideas and optimism for the future.

On Ukraine’s Independence Day, Kent With Ukraine raised a glass to our friends across Chernihiv Region 🇺🇦🍷 Fittingly, it was a superb 2021 Pinot Noir from Chernihiv’s own Vinoman Winery. - Exactly the sort of product we want to help introduce to a wider UK audience Будьмо! – at Gravesend, South East

Had an incredible day in #Rochester celebrating with Kent's Ukrainian community to mark 35 years of independence and to raise funds for Ukraine's brave defenders. Happy Independence Day to the invincible people of Ukarine! Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 🤝 🇬🇧 #UkraineIndependenceDay

My warmest wishes to the people of sovereign Ukraine on the Day of the National Flag. 🇺🇦 May the blue and yellow always fly over a free, independent and victorious Ukraine. #ДеньПрапора #UkrainianFlag #StandWithUkraine #Kyiv

A state that commits war crimes, slaughters their own & conducts hostile activities against the UK should not enjoy a diplomatic footprint here. It's time to drastically downgrade Britain’s diplomatic engagement and reduce @RussianEmbassy presence here. #RussiaIsATerroristState
