By | Wed 16th March 2022 - 5:46 pm

He shared some photos and stories with colleagues back in Kingston. Here are some of them.


Border crossing – the exhausted people are met with a short walk to the queue for the onward bus, and either side are multiple tents and “stalls” with hot food, drinks, nappies and toiletries, sim cards for the Polish telecom networks and initial information


12 year old Artsiom with his mum – just had a very long journey from Kharkiv which they said was in ruins. It is his dream to come to London.

Amazing mother who chatted about her journey from Kharkiv, now waiting for a train. Very emotional about leaving her husband behind

This morning he chatted to BBC Breakfast from KrakowL

The Independent covered his concerns: Davey accuses Government of lack of support for Ukrainian refugees.
