2,870 children in Southgate & Wood Green will be lifted out of poverty by the single most cost-effective measure available to the Govt to drive down poverty rates.
A Labour Government in action.
Only a few know this, but the SAA access team are making it difficult for me to take photos within the estate. Itโs had me questioning whether to continue photographing politicians. Then messages like this remind me why I keep going. Thank you Chris, your kind words mean a lot x

๐Happy International Womenโs Day.๐
โค๏ธToday I want to say thank you to all the women in my life, past and present.
To my wonderful mum, whose strength, love and example have shaped who I am.
โค๏ธTo my brilliant aunties who have spent their lives caring for others as nurses.
๐ชTo the women who taught me, guided me and believed in me.
And to those who fought before us so that women today could have the rights and opportunities we must never take for granted.
โค๏ธToday I am also thinking of the women around the world facing war, conflict and unimaginable hardship. Their strength and resilience should never be forgotten.
๐ณ๐ฒAnd closer to home, to the incredible women across Sherwood Forest โ thank you.
๐ปTo the volunteers and community champions.
๐ปTo the carers looking after the most vulnerable.
๐ปTo the mums, step-mums and aunties holding families together.
๐ปTo the women working in our nurseries and schools helping shape the next generation.
๐ปTo the business owners creating opportunities in our communities.
๐ปTo the bus and tram drivers keeping our towns moving.
๐ปTo the nurses, doctors and health workers caring for us.
๐ปTo the shop workers serving our communities every day.
๐ปTo the women in our blue light services who run towards danger to keep us safe.
๐ปAnd to the women serving in our armed forces, protecting our
country.
โค๏ธโก๏ธWhatever your role, whatever part you play โ thank you.
๐ณโค๏ธ๐ณThe women of Sherwood Forest keep our communities strong, our families supported and our country moving forward.
๐Today we celebrate you. Every day we stand with you.

The changes to pension salary sacrifice rules, announced in the Chancellorโs Nightmare Before Christmas Budget, make one thing clear: the Government is discouraging personal responsibility, and this is simply the wrong choice.

This evening, with sorrow, I have decided to resign from my position as an Opposition Shadow Minister and as a member of the Conservative & Unionist Party.
Since joining the Conservative Party at the age of 14, I have been a loyal and committed supporter of the principles advocated by Margaret Thatcher that have always underpinned my own political beliefs.
However, the time has come to put country before party. The failure of the Conservative Party both when in government and more recently in opposition to actively hold the government to account on the issue of Chagossian self-determination and the defence of British sovereignty, represents a clear red line for me.
Since entering Parliament in 2001, I have consistently argued, both from the backbenches and the frontbench, that the right of self-determination of the Chagossian people is sacrosanct, and that they alone should decide the future sovereignty of the Chagos Islands.
Regrettably, these concerns have fallen on deaf ears. Both the government and the opposition have been complicit in the surrender of this sovereign British territory to a foreign power. This was made abundantly clear by the failure of Conservative peers to vote down the British Indian Ocean Territory Bill at third reading earlier this month, following direction from the top of the party.
Sadly, I now believe that the Conservative Party is irreparably bound to the mistakes of previous governments and unwilling to take meaningful accountability for the poor decisions made over so many issues. Moreover, the views and concerns of constituents such as mine in Romford have been consistently ignored for far too long.
Following a conversation earlier this evening with Nigel Farage M.P., I have therefore agreed to join Reform U.K. as its seventh Member of Parliament.
It is clear to me that Reform U.K. is now the only political movement that is genuinely willing to fight for the best interests of the United Kingdom.
The views and concerns of the majority of the British people must no longer be sidelined.
Our country has endured a generation of managed decline. Radical action is now required to reverse the damaging decisions of the past and to forge a new course for Britain - one that firmly places the interests of the British people first.
๐ With 2026 here, I would like to take this opportunity before we leave 2025 behind to share with you how I have been able to help my constituents.
Over the course of the last year, with the assistance of my small team, in total I acted on over 20,000 enquiries from constituents and closed over 11,000 cases.
From this, I have given 100 examples of ways I have helped Portsmouth people. ๐๐ป

Today marks the Second Reading of the #HillsboroughLaw a vital step towards truth and justice.
It will ensure families are never left to fight alone, strengthen accountability, and rebuild trust between the public and the state.
