I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak in Prime Minister’s Questions immediately before President Zelenskyy’s visit. MPs can ask the Prime Minister about any issue that concerns them, but on this occasion most MPs referenced our united support for the people of Ukraine. I used the opportunity to ask the Prime Minister about the Tea Party I hosted, together with other North Staffordshire MPs, for the Ukrainian guests and their host families in our constituencies.
I asked the Prime Minister to join me in thanking the sponsors, particularly Alton Towers who hosted the event and all the people of North Staffordshire who have made our Ukrainian friends so welcome.
The Prime Minister agreed that it is a wonderful way to show our support for the families who have come here and said that President Zelenskyy had mentioned how grateful he is that we have opened our hearts and homes to help people from his country.
