Next stop to meet Cherry Gay and her amazing volunteers helping to make Ukrainians welcome in Godalming. I am so proud of what Cherry is doing - the BEST of British values - but equally proud and humbled by the courage of the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini!

No doubt we will end forking out not just for the Chagos Islands deal but to bid for European defence contracts…just where did this government learn its negotiating skills?

Getting an LPA is a really complicated process - could it not be made simpler with something like the NHS App (which as it happened I started when I was Health Secretary)? It sounds a really smart idea which I will raise with the Justice Secretary.

That is a ridiculous delay so I am going to intervene with Surrey County Council. I then spoke to a Godalming resident about failures by the Office of the Public Guardian over the way legal powers of attorneys work and how they regulate them.

My first call was to a Witley parent who has battled to get appropriate education for her 12 year old daughter. She has now been signed off as not being able to be educated at school (following a tribunal) but having won the case in November still nothing has happened.

Epic classic car journey in tribute to brother of Jeremy Hunt Ed Talbot and James Hall-Smith are taking part in a rally in memory of their friend Charlie Hunt.

Totally inspiring that Ed and Jamie, two great friends of my brother, are journeying from the Great Wall of China to Paris in a classic car to raise funds for Sarcoma UK. Charlie would be so proud!

This is an issue I worked hard to improve as Health Secretary and is heartbreaking to hear it is still going on. Finally sorting the issue out is a major theme of my campaigning in parliament with the All Party Patient Safety Group.

I then spoke to a Farncombe resident about the same issue - and also an issue about an NHS hospital not being open about failures in care.

☎️Constituency Calls☎️
My first call was to a Shere resident about the assisted dying bill. Her concern was choice: having seen her mother die a very painful death she felt strongly people should have more choice over their final days.

20 years ago yesterday I became an MP. Over 11 years in the Cabinet I must have done many things my constituents disagreed with but with the best of British tolerance they have stuck with me through thick and thin. I just want to say thank you! Every minute has been a privilege.

Rowleys is a brilliant community centre but being badly treated by Waverley which is cutting its grant so savagely it may end up closing. I have become a patron to support it and we all need to rally to its support: on Friday it was packed! Keep up your superb work for older people.

As we remember VE day, I think of my late Dad who served in the Royal Navy most of his life. His service - and my grandfather in WW2 and his brother who we lost in WW1 - is a lifelong inspiration. Thank you for giving us the freedoms we take for granted today and RIP.

I want to give a shout out to the amazing Martin Cosser who lost his son Charlie to an appalling knife crime in 2023. Martin has devoted himself to raising awareness of the dangers of knife crime speaking to thousands of young people since then. Totally remarkable bbc.co.uk/news/article...
