I welcome this Labour Government’s landmark agreement with the EU and our commitment to deliver a new youth mobility deal 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 After years of closed doors under the Conservatives, we're opening them up — creating opportunities for young people to live, work and learn across Europe once again.

This is a major blow for our county town. That leaves Nationwide as the only physical presence

It was a real pleasure to welcome students from my old school Richard Hale School to Parliament as their MP this morning. Great to sit down and share my journey into politics with them, and answer their questions.

Great to sit down with George Ezra in Hertford this week to chat about his exciting new project, Hertford Quarter, and all the positive things happening in our town! Fantastic to hear how he wants to shine a light on the many extraordinary people in our community.

Promise made, promise kept ✅ You voted for 2 million extra NHS appointments within a year and this Labour government has delivered that first step 7 months early. There’s more to do and we’re getting on with the job of rebuilding our NHS.

Great acoustic set from @thewombats.co.uk at Rough Trade East last night. Love the new album, ‘oh the Ocean’

At this morning's Transport Questions in the House of Commons, I raised Network Rail's continued delays to the Platform 1 lift at Hertford North. I'm pleased that the Minister agreed to meet with me to discuss how we can push this project forward.

This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, I raised in the House of Commons the challenges young people in Hertford and Stortford face in accessing mental health support and asked for an update on the positive steps this government is taking to improve it. youtube.com/shorts/fA4wz...

I’ve raised the continued delays to the promised lift at Hertford North in a joint letter to Network Rail with Hertford’s county councillors. We’ve requested an urgent update and a meeting to address the impact on our community. I’ll keep residents updated as we push for progress.

This Holocaust Memorial Day, we mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. On this solemn anniversary, we reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust and the devastation that hatred, bigotry and prejudice can lead to. 1/3

Please read my letter clarifying my vote on the Children’s Wellbeing & Schools Bill yesterday evening.

Merry Christmas!

Lovely day at Epping Ongar Railway with @janetteleaf.bsky.social , Maddie and Dylan Cross

Yesterday, I met Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson MP to discuss Labour’s mission to break barriers to opportunity for every child. In Hertford and Stortford, I’m working with schools, nurseries, and colleges to deliver the Plan for Change, ensuring every child gets the best start in life.

Great to spend the afternoon with some old school friends

Following my letter to Govia Thameslink raising concerns on behalf of constituents last month, I'm pleased to see that improved signage has been introduced at Hertford North train station, clearly indicating that contactless payments are not valid on journeys north of Hertford.

Happy New Year! May 2024 bring a Labour Government
