Rain didn't dampen the excitement at today's ceremony at Stoke Mandeville. Our on-the-ground reporter, Victoria Scholes @legallypowered braved the elements to watch British para-athletes @HeleneRaynsford and Gregor Ewan along with IPC President Andrew Parsons, light the Paralympic flame. Now, it begins its 4-day journey to Paris! #Paralympics #ParalympicGames #Paris2024 #c4paralympics #DisabledJournalist #JournalismStudent
Victoria @legallypowered spoke to 4 members of the @BritWheelBBall team at Bisham Abbey before they headed out to Paris to discuss team dynamics, their journeys into the sport & get the low down behind the scenes.
Good Luck this morning!

Statement from Harry regarding Zane Gbangbola:
"I met Zane's father, Kye Gbangbola, last week. It was one of the hardest meetings I'd ever attended because I could feel this father's pain.
Zane passed away after ten years. We all want to know the truth about what happened to Zane.
The new government must carry out a full Independent Panel Inquiry to provide the family with the answers they need and restore their trust in the system.
If I am elected to parliament, I intend to push for this."

Harry is supporting our local businesses in #Spelthorne.
Visiting @thamessidebrew in Staines on Thursday Evening, Harry said
"Thank you to Andy, Michele, and the entire Thames Side Brewery team for a wonderful evening.
It was great to have the opportunity to learn more about the challenges that our local businesses face. Local businesses are the lifeline of our town centres, employing our neighbours, contributing to local taxes, and reinvesting in order to create a cycle that benefits everyone and should be supported.
Our town centres require variety, and support for our distinctive local businesses is critical to ensuring that they continue to serve as a focal point for people to connect, have fun, and socialise.
Furthermore, if I am successful in the GE, I plan to work with authorities to help address the rise of antisocial behaviour in our town centres.
As a local business owner myself, I understand how difficult it is to get started and stay afloat. We would never have got our business off the ground if it were not for the kindness of Christ Church Staines, who had been so kind to us. Three years later, we are still going strong. More support from local government and the community is required to assist Spelthorne's next generation of entrepreneurs.
If you haven't been to the Thames Side Brewery , I strongly advise you to do. The brewery has a lively atmosphere and wonderful local beers, which as you can see, I made full use of.
A local success story.

Happy Friday to you all."
Thank you Shepperton
What a great day we had at the annual Shepperton Fair!! A huge thank you to all the organisers 🤩
My team and I had a wonderful day and spoke to hundreds of amazing Spelthorne residents.
Looking forward to next year’s event.
Harry has passion for the area. When he became councillor for my area, I said we need more dropped kerbs to make the area accessible for all. Within the year it was done Something I had been challenging my council for 10 yrs for. Want an MP with passion, Harry is your man!
Harry Boparai, the man widely tipped to be the first MP for Spelthorne who actually lives here, speaking with passion for our community at a hustings in Stanwell Moor last week.
Please vote for Harry Boparai. Spelthorne needs a local champion.
