Last week, we had the final celebration for the Tribute Trek, at Stationers' Hall. We have been overwhelmed by the support the Trek has had, from the beginning, and we are proud to announce that, in total, we have raised over £600,000 for ex-SF members and their dependents.
This month, five former Special Forces members will embark on the Nasir, Bekri, Tayi, and Lawrence Tribute Trek, retracing the epic 1,100km journey of T.E. Lawrence and his comrades through the Hejaz Mountains and Nefud Desert.

‼️Russians have just hit Kharkiv's residential areas with 10 guided bombs and ballistic missiles. There are many victims.
Ukraine is forbidden by its allies from striking the Russian launchers and airfields with western weapons.
As Russia continues to attack UA’s energy infrastructure, today more than ever we are at a crossroads in the Russo-Ukrainian war. And Western govts, individually, need to recognise that & make a decision

Ukraine’s independence means the independence of every citizen – true #volia, which Ukrainians demonstrate to the world every day.
We remember the price paid by Ukrainian defenders in the fight for our present and an equally independent future.
Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Our support for Ukraine must be heard around the world.

The whole thread is worth reading but this is a pretty concise summary. Ukrainian victory is in theory militarily possible, but enough Western politicians endorsing that strategy for victory seems (right now) impossible. New strategies and thinking needed
@benhabib6 My Ukrainian Aid organisation would like to take the boats and their engines to Ukraine for use on the Dnipro river. We will do it for free. We have asked the last Government and they said “No”.
A convoy of vehicles departed from the Embassy to Ukraine. This significant event was supported by compassionate British residents who donated vehicles or contributed through the ULEZ scrappage scheme.
What a day! A privilege, if a little surreal, to give my maiden speech in the House of Lords yesterday, with my family watching on. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.
