Rutland Pippin Alicia Kearns MP for Rutland and Melton Pork Pie Plot Update.
I am told the Rutland Pippin is a much finer delicacy than the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie. I am a vegetarian so I would not know.
Alicia posted this update about Pork Pie Plot via her social media.
I expect that many of you have read my name in the news over the last week or so, regarding a private meeting of Conservative MPs.
I think residents know how let down I have felt over the last few weeks, and that I have been deeply unhappy with the revelations of events, which if accurately depicted demonstrate an indifference towards the sacrifices made by us all to protect one another and adhere to the restrictions that were in place.
These are important matters that require discussion, not press speculation. I make no apology for meeting with my colleagues, but it was not a coup or any such activity despite the mischief of the media or certain actors who might wish to suggest otherwise.
It is likely that Sue Gray’s report will be published today. I will comment more comprehensively when I have had the time to read the report in full as I expect many of you will wish to do.
My radio silence has been because I’ve been in Ukraine since last Tuesday night as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee to learn first hand the threat of Putin to European security. I have been without my phone or Facebook, which I wasn't able to bring due to security concerns. If there’s any question of conflict on European soil, or a deployment of British soldiers, it’s important that MPs have the facts before them to make that decision.
I will be responding to everyone who has written to me regarding the situation as quickly as I can, but I hope residents can understand that it takes time to respond to everyone.
