Was a pleasure to sit down with @Ajournalistblog and talk about the transition from the military to journalism and the future of the armed forces.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Army Veteran turned journalist Conor Wilson talks to Politics UK about his difficult transition away from military service, and what the government can do to attract more young people to the Army ✍️ @Ajournalistblog newshubgroup.co.uk/news/uk/milita…
Completely this. @TiceRichard
Right, just STOP! Banter in the military is normal. But the disgusting attacks directed at the BZN Station Commander are fucking unacceptable! Direct your anger at the saboteurs and their ongoing campaign to undermine the UK Armed Forces - which YOU are now helping! Remember...
A quick attempt to apply some logic and reasoning to the Brize Norton (BZZ) situation and call out the vile online attacks on the CO for what it really is - mysogonistic bullying. Thread /1
Instructors that do this should be RTU'd from training establishments. They are there to teach those coming through not record their errors and post online for a cheap laugh. Put your phone away and send them leopard crawling.
"The MoD has a track history of covering things up.." says @ConorWilson2 from the @Daily_Express on @LBC with @IainDale. We agree - they've covered up the Chinook crash truth for 31 years, which is why we want the files released. The @DefenceHQ has lost its moral compass.
Hi @kirbyestate I am heading down on behalf of the @Daily_Express to cover the problems you have had recently with flags being cut down and to speak to residents ahead of the game tomorrow. Would be great to get in touch with any residents who will be around!
#coverup appears to be the mantra of the British state … with the MoD at the centre of it. Again.
'No one in government back then is covered in glory. It's really quite shameful,' Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey tells Sky News after it was revealed the UK government covered up a major data breach that put thousands of Afghans lives at risk. trib.al/Yit09G5
The government has serverely underestimated the strength of feeling amongst veterans. Conservative sources believe it is a policy “built on sand” and driven by Lord Hermer
As MPs debate Northern Ireland veterans, it is the biggest turnout I have seen for a Westminster Hall debate. Gallery packed with berets.
"To subject the families of those killed in service to decades of accusations and mystery is a cruelty beyond measure." Excellent write-up from ex army captain @ConorWilson2 summing up the views of #chinookjustice families perfectly in @Daily_Express. express.co.uk/news/uk/208141…
Have you been rejected by the Army in the past because of your tattoos? Get in touch: [email protected] 📧
NEW: The Army has relaxed its rules around tattoos. Applicants with tattoos on the front and sides of the neck will now be able to progress through the recruiting pipeline. express.co.uk/news/uk/208071…
One day I hope to write a piece half as brilliant as this.

Classy as ever from plastic Farage
Rachel Reeves’s benefits bill is dead, and so is her career.
The personal side of politics we rarely see, although we should hold off speculating on why she was crying. MPs should be held to the highest level of scrutiny but we must also remember that they are people, the majority of whom are in politics for the right reasons.
A tear just rolled down the Chancellor’s cheek at #PMQs as the PM refuses to answer whether or not she’ll stay in her job. Hayfever, or something else?
It was great to chat all things defence after a hectic week with @LizzyBuchan and @christiancalgie yesterday.
“We have less troops than a Taylor Swift concert!” @ConorWilson2 tells @christiancalgie whether Britain would be ready for a war tomorrow #TheDivisionBell
We now have a debate in Parliament on 14 July. But it is extraordinarily important to maintain the momentum. If you haven't done so already, sign the petition to show the public does not support the relentless pursuit of our heroes through the courts. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7257…
Just weeks after MOD launched the SDR promising to invest in service accommodation, Catterick Garrison has been left "resembling Birmingham" as bins go uncollected. The MOD says that the fault lies with North Yorkshire Council who blame the soldiers 🤯 express.co.uk/news/uk/207358…
Looking to speak to a legal expert on Crown Immunity for a piece in this weekends @Daily_Express with particular emphasis on the military #journorequest
No wonder trust in the media is in the state it is when you have falsities like this posted to thousands of people as true
So now Britain is a country where full-term babies and the elderly can be killed by the state.
