A great decision by Joe Biden. He has many things he should be justly proud of - particularly in his economic record. All eyes now on the Democrats to find a great future President. An incredibly important decision and the correct one. 🙏

I'm deeply honoured to be Chelsea and Fulham's MP and hugely grateful to all who put trust in me.
To those who lent me their vote or those who didn't vote for me, I promise I will be an MP on the side of all residents.
I can't wait to get on with the job I've been hired to do.
