Clive Jones MP

Yesterday morning I joined local organisers and volunteers selling poppies in Wokingham.

Thank you to everyone who gives their time to support the Royal British Legion, and to everyone who stopped to buy one.

This week has involved a mix of meetings with constituents, local events across the constituency and events in Parliament.

With Remembrance Sunday approaching, I have also attended a number of events to honour those who served for our country.

Great to take part in the Industry and Parliament Trust Poppy Ride this year in support of the Royal British Legion.

The RBL does vital work to support the armed forces and their families.

I welcome the Government's recent changes to Carer's Allowances.

But they must go further and act faster to end this injustice.

I have written to the Prime Minister, along with Lib Dem MPs from across the country including Ed Davey, calling for urgent action to end the Carer's Allowance scandal and to speed up reviews for carers caught up in this injustice. Carers need action now, not years down the line.
