Earlier this week I attended an event in Parliament hosted by ABB, who have a presence locally and are a valued employer for our area.

They are one of many businesses based in the UK providing a digital transformation for a more globally competitive economy.

During Home Office Questions today, I asked the Minister about security cooperation and strengthening our alliances around the world after Brexit.

Today I met newly commissioned US Navy Pilots and a US Marine in the House of Commons.

On Sunday, Jack completed another Bradley Stoke 10k run.

Many thanks to Sole Sisters for organising, great work from all the marshals and to Mayor Tom Aditya for presenting me with a medal.

He has been taking part in the run for over 10 years and still enjoys it.

Good to meet some members of Gloucestershire Freemasons at the Bradley Stoke Community Festival and hear of the good work and fundraising they doing in the community.

Another excellent Easter Compton Family Fun Fayre.

Was a good opportunity to buy some great books from of the many stalls on offer.

Great community effort and fun.

Had the great privilege yesterday to attend Blind Veterans D-Day Commemorative Lunch with John Maloney, Chair of Stoke Gifford Royal British Legion as my guest.

It was inspirational to meet so many D-Day and other veterans and hear about the work of this important charity.

Had lunch today at All'angelo, the new Italian restaurant in Pilning.

The service was good and the  welcome very friendly.

The food was excellent. I would really recommend it. Please support a great new local business.
