The Watercress Line - a magical day out

Damian was delighted to be back at the Watercress Line to meet new chief executive Amanda Squires and some of the 400 brilliant volunteers who make this one of the county's leading heritage railways. A magical day out for families and enthusiasts alike, attracting people from far and wide. #DiscoverEastHampshire https://watercressline.co.uk/

Seeing the Chancellor’s team line up with her on Downing Street reminded me of my own spell as a junior minister at the Treasury, at the Budget and Autumn Statement.My role at that time was focussed on areas such as alcohol and gambling duties, and energy policy.
