My condolences are with the Royal Family tonight upon the news of the death of Her late Majesty The Queen.

A figure we had come to see as timeless, her service was an example to us all.

She leaves the monarchy, the nation and the world a better place through her devotion to duty.

It concerns me greatly that many constituents are having to choose between eating and heating, not knowing how they will make it through the winter.



With average energy bills having increased by over 50% in the first half of 2022, and with further rises coming, doing nothing is not an option.

Labour will sort out backlog and put patients at core of NHS.



When my constituent Adam (his name has been changed to protect his privacy) asked for an appointment with a doctor, he was made to wait three months. At the consultation he was told he needed a full hip replacement and that he would have to wait another nine months for a surgery date. Six months later, he called the hospital to ask when that date might be. The hospital told him that he would have to wait a further twelve months.
