I’ve always loved cricket, a game that unites the world. Today I had an impromptu game with my friends from the @gwtorg who do so much to support our Gurkha veterans. At over 12000 feet near Muktinath in Mustang, Nepal, I confess there weren’t many quick singles…

@NATO Defence & Security Committee is in Slovenia. UK rep @MarkLancasterMK said “It’s a privilege to be here marking 20 years of Slovenia being in NATO. I served in NATO peacekeeping forces in Kosovo and Bosnia and I'm very aware collective defence is as vital now as ever.”🤝

Spent last week in London with these fine gentlemen discussing how we will continue to develop and support the Regiments in the UK Overseas Territories. Big thanks to @MarkLancasterMK for hosting a lovely and informative dinner.

@MarkLancasterMK, thank you for reminding @GOVUK of both the "moral case" to support our Afghan allies & the fact that "if we are not seen to be a trusted partner" - future partnerships will be very difficult to achieve.@BritishCouncil @RishiSunak @EwartBiggs #AtRiskTeachers

#MSPO i Lord @MarkLancasterMK na inauguracji BTI Taskforce: To wspaniały przykład od zawsze bliskich i coraz ściślejszych 🇵🇱🇬🇧relacji i większe możliwości do współpracy firm z sektora obronności - bez względu na to, czy są wielkimi, średnimi czy małymi przedsiębiorstwami #defence

Great to be in Poland supporting 🇬🇧 🇵🇱 Defence Security Partnership #MSPO2023 @DefenceHQ

Great to be able to accompany and support @JamesCleverly on his trip in my capacity as Defence Exports Advocate helping to build closer ties on security and defence across the region.

Congratulations to all those Army Reserve and Professionally Qualified Officers who commissioned today ⁦@RMASandhurst⁩ with a special mention to OCdts Wiseman and Sanders from the ⁦@BermudaRegiment⁩ ⁦@adampileUK⁩

I speak to residents everyday and our support is growing everyday too. It’s a special privilege to have these conversations and to exchange our passions and life journeys. To me - this is what democracy feels like - this is what politics should be. @MKConservatives

Such a tremendous honour to be the reviewing officer at the designation parade yesterday at 36 Engineer Regiment. I can’t believe it’s 35 years since 2Lt Lancaster served with 67 Sqn QGE in Hong Kong back in 1988 but great to have the Sqn back.

@Gabriel64869839 right so GCAP - Japan / Italy / UK. Have i missed something? Is Japan not in the Pacific?

@annietrev @Gurkha_Brigade @BritishArmy @ArmyCGS Thank you for coming, your support for all our armed forces and in particular for your support for @Gurkha_Brigade and @gwtorg

To kick off #ArmedForcesWeek, we are proud to announce that we have re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant. Our thanks to Lord Lancaster, who joined @LDO_UKCEO at our London HQ as we committed to continue supporting our UK Armed Forces Community: uk.leonardo.com/en/people-care…

A fabulous new young DJ joins @BBCRadioSolent today 💕. Tune in from 2pm to hear @FDinenage first show. 🎧

@nadams Nigel stands for everything the Tory Party should be. A man from humble roots who has worked hard & helped others all his life. A first rate MP who represented his constituents as well as any MP I know & an absolutely first rate Minister. I am proud to be his friend. A sad day.

Yesterday, Selby Conservatives selected an excellent new parliamentary candidate. I’ve today informed the chief whip that I will be standing down as a Member of Parliament with immediate effect. It has been an honour to represent the area where I was raised, educated & 1/2

I'm taking part in The Cateran Yomp. 54 miles in just 24 hrs. #NoExcuses #Yomp23 events.soldierscharity.org/s/17572/32066/t After being involved in the Coronation. I return to a uniform that I’m more comfortable in, to complete the Cateran Yomp, tomorrow for the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF). 🧵1/5
