Great to spend 2 days in Rome with the Fleet Action group as guests of Italian fleet Commander-in-Chief Aurelio de Carolis. First day aboard the Anti-Submarine Warfare frigate Carlo Margottini. Excellent tour by Commander Umberto Bulleri. Italy 🇮🇹 is such an important ally!

Delighted to be the Conservative candidate for Fulham Town in the upcoming by-election. I want to thank Andrew Dinsmore for his dedication to his constituents and wish him the best. Labour have let down our Borough for too long. I’m looking forward to being part of the change.

Huge thanks to Aurelio de Carolis and the Italian Navy for their tactical briefing and tour of their Fleet HQ. Very special to be patched in by video link to receive briefings from Admirals on deployment at sea to the Med, the Somali Basin, the Red Sea and the MCM division.

A look back in time. The departures board for Luton Airport on 3rd March, 2021. There were just seven flights for the whole day! I was on the 08:55 to Bucharest.

I enjoyed being a guest speaker at the 50th anniversary of the German Industry UK celebration tonight. Led by Bernd Attenstaedt, one of its founders, GIUK has battled for the interests of German companies here in the UK. 500,000 Brits go to work every day for German companies.

The early election was the worst (not necessarily most consequential) decision of the Conservative governments, 2010-24. There were no good arguments for it whatsoever, as anyone in the Party who knew anything about elections said at the time.

Today, the EU holds a Chinese state-backed actor responsible for a malicious cyber campaign targeting Czechia. This is a clear and unacceptable violation of international norms. We stand firmly with Czechia. My statement on behalf of the EU → europa.eu/!xrDbyf

Back in Prague, am delighted to return as a Governor of the English College in Prague (ECP), after a 10 year gap. First engagement - the school’s annual prize giving, held at the medieval Betlémská Kaple. Great to see the successful Year 6 students, teachers & parents.

Flashback to 2018: “A Number 10 spokesman confirmed Mr Hands had informed the Prime Minister of his decision to resign today, but could not confirm where in the world the MP was at the time.” mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Today’s drone attack on airbases across Russia is claimed to have targeted and at least damaged 34% of long-range cruise missile carriers used by the Russian Air Force for missile strikes against cities in Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU).

Good coverage in today’s British press of my appointment as full-time Strategic Adviser to Daniel Křetinský and the EP Group. This is such a good fit for me - I’ve known Daniel a long time and shuttling between London, Germany and Prague promoting business is second nature!

Amazing to bump into one of my favourite ex Trade Ministers this evening, on a train out of Milan - Ivan Scalfarotto 🇮🇹🇪🇺🇺🇦! We were comrades in arms in favour of more EU trade agreements, in the EU Trade FAC under Commissioner Cecilia Malmström
