That spirit of generosity, the strength of unity in the face of the darkest forces, is what I will try to further in my role in this place. In that spirit, I praise Alexander Stafford, my predecessor, who was a hard-working MP, and who leaves the House as his brother arrives—no doubt the hon. Member for Farnham and Bordon (Gregory Stafford) will follow in his brother’s footsteps. In this place, Alexander will perhaps be best remembered for his work promoting the independence of Somaliland, and I know from my own social media that many in Hargeisa were very grateful for his adoption of their cause. I thank him for his service.
