I recently met with Tom and Ash from Grenadyr to talk about supporting the growth of the UK defence industrial base, Ukraine and the upcoming government investment. Grenadyr are looking to scale up, so it was a great opportunity to pitch Swindon.

Defence Spending 2.5% GDP Voted AGAINST

Water Company Regulation Voted FOR
I recently signed an open letter urging OFWAT and the DEFRA Secretary to reject Thames Water's bid to be immune from paying fines up to 2030. I have also written separately to Thames Water directly.
