Joined January 2009
Tickets to Aston Villa’s first European Cup game in 40+ years reached £94. It's crucial we ensure football remains affordable for all fans. I spoke in Parliament today about the need to increase fan representation on club boards to help protect the game we all love.

The people I speak to everyday understand it's going to be hard to turn our economy around. But have confidence that @RachelReevesMP is the right person with the right plan to do it.
I am under no illusions about the scale of the challenge I will inherit if I become Chancellor. But I have a long-term plan to grow our economy, improve living standards and make work working people better off.
