OK so I've changed my twitter name !
Currently can't play at huge events.
So my primary role @ day job is now my profile focus.
SOMEDAY will return to major events again until then happy memories of events from London2012 Olympics to Reading festival to Prides to Triathlons.
Reserve Forces make an invaluable contribution to our nation's security. 🇬🇧
They are a lever we can pull to surge support to our regular forces.
And a vital source of expertise in areas like cyber, medicine and intelligence. 👩⚕️
Today we thank them for balancing their civilian careers with serving their country.
Happy #ReservesDay.
#ArmedForcesWeek
Today is Reserves Day, an opportunity to recognise the invaluable contribution Reservists make to our Armed Forces and wider society.
Reservists balance civilian careers, family life and military service, bringing specialist skills, experience and commitment whenever they are called upon. Their dedication strengthens our Armed Forces and supports operations both at home and overseas.
At Combat Stress, we are proud to support veterans from both the Regular and Reserve forces, providing specialist mental health treatment to those affected by military service.
Thank you to all Reservists, past and present, for your service, professionalism and commitment. Your contribution matters, and we are proud to stand alongside you!

Today marks 167 years since Henry Dunant witnessed the horrific aftermath of the Battle of Solferino on 24 June 1859 and rallied local people to care for the wounded, regardless of which side they fought on.
That simple yet profound act of humanity inspired the creation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and eventually the @IFRC.
Every year, Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and staff return to Solferino for the Fiaccolata, a torchlit procession from Solferino to Castiglione delle Stiviere, to reflect on the values that unite our Movement and continue to guide our work today.
Together, and all around the world, let’s keep paving a path of humanity, one wide enough for everyone to walk.
Let’s keep the flame of our shared history burning.
Let’s light up the world with our compassion.
Let’s pass the torch and keep the spirit of Solferino alive.
@BBCPolitics Perhaps the honourable member for Yardley should take a moment to consider her position if she feels was elected despite Kier statmer as PM
Her majority was 693 on a less than 50% turnout.
This government is worse than those before for spending too much time on shenanigans and not enough time readying 👇 (and what makes it even more problematic is they think they know it all) https://t.co/p4fPabh1RF

Listen to me very carefully, @AndyBurnhamGM
Everything you are doing right now is going to cost me, my neighbours, my friends, my family, and every single citizen in this country.
As a former top civil servant rightly warned, this manufactured leadership uncertainty is enormously disruptive and it costs us real money.
We are utterly fed up with paying more for food, for housing, and for our daily cost of living just because of characters like you.
Hope? You talk about hope and you framed the Makerfield election around giving us hope. Is this your idea of hope?
To shake the markets, to drive up prices, to make investors walk away, and to stop us from reducing the debt we carry because of politicians like you?
Is that what you call hope?
How many times is this that you are trying to become the leader of the Labour Party?
You chose to pull this stunt mid term, while this government holds a massive majority in parliament.
No reasonable politician who actually cares about their party or the country would ever do this.
Let me tell you, Andy, this selfish behaviour will bury you politically. You only stay relevant while the media pumps your narrative. What truly awaits you is Josh's team, who will gladly stab you in the back at the very first opportunity.
As for Jeremy Corbyn and the rest of the self-proclaimed left wing who cannot accept that they do not lead this party, they need to take responsibility. If you do not like this party, leave.
Go and build your own far-left party and implement your policies there.
My message to you, Andy, is that I will never stop lobbying against your hypocrisy.
Right now, you are just an ordinary MP who means absolutely nothing more. Even that seat was taken through a manufactured plot with Josh, triggering a by-election just to give you a stage for this theatrical performance.
I have only one single message for @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour:
Keep your word. You won the historic election with Keir Starmer as your leader, so stand your ground and get on with the job.

#bbcaq - there is a message being sent by the public loud and clear here. People don’t want us to change our prime minister. The labour mps need to listen..
Andy Burnham has no national mandate, has articulated no clear vision for the country, and has a poor track record from his time in government. Despite this, he has faced remarkably little scrutiny.
I’m sure he’s a decent person, but being likeable is not a qualification for leading a country facing deep political and social divisions.
Unless serious questions are asked and convincing answers are provided, there is every reason to believe that things could get significantly worse before they get better.
@GWRHelp having problems with the new app....
Reset my password on the web site. Doesn't show any membership of rewards. Go yo the app cant log in just doesn't even connect. Re installed app still the same. Tried to go to the info url which is no longer pointing at any page....
@GWRHelp@AndrewJamesAJ The (1Lo1) 0507 service has been withdrawn for 2 weeks?? Why?
Its back next week.
I suspect it's due to the line closure from.port talbot to swansea...
@GWRHelp@AndrewJamesAJ Currently the early morning services from CDF are an issue the first train of the day 0507 (1L01) from cardiff has gone from the schedule this was a 9 car train. The next service 0554 (1L03) has been 5 cars the significant reduction in capacity has resulted in overcrowding.
@GWRHelp silver rewards member tried to use my 1 off lounge pass but scanner wouldn't accept bar code so couldn't enter. Now code shows as redeemed. How can I get the pass back?
