But I’m more determined than ever.

Delighted to help celebrate Invictus Games Foundation 💛🖤 10 year anniversary over the last 24hrs.

Don’t know what the magic’s all about?

The biggest issue here is that this Labour Party quite obviously believe in and stand for absolutely nothing, other knocking the Tories.

Easiest game in the world. Government is much harder: standing for something; you have to actually stand up for stuff. We must beat them.

I have literally no idea why the public think most politicians are so inauthentic and believe in absolutely nothing at all.

I spoke yesterday at the Invictus Games Foundation 💛🖤 event.. it was a chance to lay things out in longer form. Here’s the whole speech if you are interested.

Veterans Affairs in the UK are unrecognisable from where they were ten years ago. I’m proud of that. But there’s much more to do.

Just to note, this is also the first Parliament on record where we shut down the economy to stave off a pandemic, then faced a global energy price shock almost immediately after.

Think that might have had something to do with it.

Good cabinet. Loads to get on with - including making sure Veterans can use their Veterans ID card to vote at the next general election. Last week was not good. I’m under no illusion at the scale of the challenge in Plymouth. But I’ve never been more determined to fight for you.

If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Good few days at home. Back in in the morning. Thanks for all the support.

The moment Plymouth Argyle FC stayed up.. nervy day, but all’s well that ends well. What a community; what a club. Congratulations to all involved.

Local elections (these were for local councillors) were indeed difficult for the Conservatives last night. I congratulate those who won in the Labour Party and commiserate with those who lost. I am especially proud of Chris Wood's victory in Eggbuckland who won for the…

Well done to all those who stood last night, and particularly those who won.

Whilst this looks bad and delights some, I can assure you I can’t wait for the fight, love the challenge, and rally hard against this idea that Plymouth MV returns to the totalitarian Labour days. We…

Never happier than when I’m walking round Plymouth chatting with happy residents.. make sure you get out there and vote today. I can’t deliver without effective local councillors - it matters. Polling stations open till 10pm.

This is fake news from a fake bloke. The individual hasn’t been barred at all - plenty of other forms of ID acceptable. The veteran ID card is new; it will be on the list for the next election.

My office is still open and our drop in is still on from 2-4pm today.

Our staff work for IPSA (the taxpayer - you) and are not out Party campaigning for local elections.

Some heavy weather overnight in Plymouth and early starts - forgive the tramp look.

But important local elections in Plymouth today. Don’t let Toady Evans have it all his own way - go out and vote for your excellent local Conservative candidate like Kyle Lewis in st. Budeaux.

I am sorry about this.

The legislation on acceptable forms of ID came out before the veterans ID cards started coming out in January this year. I will do all I can to change it before the next one.

I would like you to go out tomorrow and vote Conservative in Plymouth. If you want to vote Labour I disagree with you, but respect your different view. I am neither racist nor a white supremacist.

This is too far. Wes has had a tough week but he should retract this.

Think Plymouth City Council should be doing better for us than being in the bottom quarter of councils across the Country?

Tomorrow is local elections. Don't let Tudor Evans have it all his own way. This week's newsletter and more.. shorturl.at/eoD68
