As I'm sure you are aware, last week brought us the shocking news that Major James Joshua Bowman, a local man, was one of the three soldiers from 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles killed by a rogue Afghan soldier in Helmand province in Afghanistan. This is the first fatality of a constituent since I have been an MP and I want to pay a public tribute to Joshua, a brave and courageous soldier who, along with the many others before him, gave his life in service to his country.

just asked a friend who he was voting for in the Labour leadership election..he declined to say but said he had four votes to cast!!!
