The former prime minister says it is pleasing to have done something for"refugees who are suffering so much from this terrible war that Putin has launched".David Cameron has completed a 1,000 mile journey to Poland to deliver supplies to Ukrainian refugees, despite suffering a flat tyre along the way and renting a lorry"that didn't have a spare".
The former Conservative prime minister said he and his travelling companion Rizvana Poole, from a surplus food service in Chipping Norton, were"pretty knackered" but had made"quite a team", despite Ms Poole being a Labour councillor. In a video on his Twitter feed, he said that after 20 hours of driving they had made it close to the Ukrainian border with items including nappies, first aid kits, bedding and clothing donated by people in Oxfordshire."The firemen here and the Polish Red Cross have done an amazing job helping us to get everything off the lorry," he said.
