I’m delighted to announce Henry Bolton OBE (@_HenryBolton) as Restore Britain’s spokesman on national security - Henry is responsible for developing and maintaining the framework that ensures the party’s policies are effective in preserving, protecting, securing and defending the United Kingdom, its people, the Overseas Territories, and British interests at home and abroad. That includes the defence of the United Kingdom’s sovereignty, territory, borders, economy, constitutional order, institutions, economic and social resilience, and freedom of action. The first part of that will be released this morning, through our paper on ‘Restoring British Policing’. Henry served as a regular Army soldier and reserve Army officer from 1979 to 2000, leaving as a company commander. In Bosnia, he commanded a NATO Strategic Human Intelligence Unit, directing intelligence operations and reporting to and advising the Commander of Allied Forces in Bosnia. He qualified as a French Army Commando, NATO Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol Instructor, Joint Forces Expedition Leader, instructor in Russian Tactical Doctrine, and Joint Military/Civilian Operations Planner. He also led the UK Reserve Forces Team in the International Command Skills Competition two years running. Internationally, Henry served as a United Nations District Administrator in Kosovo, Director of Field Operations for the international ceasefire observation mission in Macedonia, crisis management adviser to the Albanian Prime Minister, and led UK efforts to disrupt transnational organised crime in the Southern Balkans. He was Senior Border Security and Management Adviser to the Secretary General and 57 participating States of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, spent 27 months leading joint UK/US civil-military stabilisation teams in Musa Qala, northern Helmand, served as a chief planner for European Common Security and Defence Policy in Brussels, Libya and Ukraine, and led the European Union’s Crisis Response Team in Ukraine. Henry was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2013 for services to international security and stabilisation in Central Asia and Afghanistan. We are determined to put together a team of spokespeople who actually know what they are talking about on their brief. Not career politicians shuffled around like playing cards. Henry is a genuine world-class expert on national security. It's great to have him on the Restore Britain team.
