On the recordJune 16, 2026

We got a landslide victory in 2024 for a five-year mandate for this Labour government. They said it’s not possible to turn the Labour party around. It’s not possible to win an election. It’s not possible if you do win an election to invest in your public services and stabilise the economy – wrong every time, and that’s why I intend not to walk away from this, but to carry on with what I was elected to do, which is to serve this country, bring back the change that people desperately need in their lives.

It has been a huge honour and privilege to represent the best constituency in the country and to have taken over from Frank Dobson, who was such a great constituency MP and a member of the last Labour government.

It’s work I started before I became an MP and it’s work I’m keen to continue after I’m an MP.

I will also continue, as I have done for a long time now with others, to work on combating violence against women and girls; that is an issue that matters to me hugely.
