NATO’s Article 5 -asking all to defend a member state - has only been triggered once FOR THE USA. Allies deployed 20 years from 9/11. Now Trump tells the 451 Brits killed supporting US that “we never needed them…they stayed off the front-lines”. Why are we still appeasing him?
“We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this and that. And they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines”
I served in Afghanistan. I saw first hand the sacrifices made by British soldiers I served alongside in Sangin where we suffered horrific casualties, as did the US Marines the following year.
I don’t believe US military personnel share the view of President Trump; his words do them a disservice as our closest military allies.
It’s sad to see our nation’s sacrifice, and that of our NATO partners, held so cheaply by the President of the United States.
Our current prime minister @10DowningStreet needs to grow a pair and learn from this. "A friend who bullies us, is no longer a friend"

Will this be as dependable as the western nations guarantee to Ukraine proved to be from the 1994 Budapest Memorandum? #notworthtthepaperitiswrittenon.

For some reason @sainsburys don't seem to be able to answer a very simple question as to whether they stock products sourced from Israel… Got to make you wonder what they've got to hide.
This is a crime. When will the world see deliberate starvation for what it is and do something about it. All countries that stand by and do nothing, and continue to support Israel is complicit in this disgusting crime.

As a proponent of EV's, it was great to be invited to photograph this event and listen to the thoughts of industry experts.
This week, we made it cheaper & easier to switch to electric, with up to £3,750 off new EVs 💸
Now we’re boosting holiday charging too 🏖️
Brilliant to meet with the @bvrla & industry at @altontowers to launch the #BonVoyCharge campaign & install more 🔌 at holiday hotspots!

A pleasure once again to photograph this event.
Concluding the policy forum is a panel on inflation risks, diverging global outlooks, and policy strategy going forward.

Trying to pay @Zopa with a @monzo @MastercardUK debit card to pay for @OctopusEnergy solar panels, but @Zopa refuses to take payment from a @MastercardUK backed @monzo card. Pretty sure @zopa is breaking banking industry rules and risks losing its banking licence @MartinSLewis?

Surprised not to have had any response, especially from @monzo as their customer service is normally superb, and it's their brand being harmed by this. And @OctopusEnergy have erected a barrier to 11 million potential Monzo customers wanting solar.

A day of corporate headshots in Warrington for me today. Is it time to book a session to update your organisation's headshots?

Merry Christmas! (Couldn't resist applying a little AI Christmas magic to the headshots of my fellow town councillors and myself). 😛🎄
After all these years, I still get a buzz from walking into a newsagent and seeing one of my photos as the main cover shot. 😁

I had the perfect photoshoot today to deal with the day's excessively hot temperatures - in a frozen food distribution centre at minus 25 degrees. Thanks to Connor Jukes at Gist for his hospitality and keeping me cool (and slightly numb!) 😀
