I am delighted to be the newly elected Labour MP for Wellingborough.
I am honoured that local people have placed their trust in me and the Labour Party. But I also know, from the thousands of conversations I have had during this campaign, how people want a fresh start.
What can I say, other than a HUGE thank you! Whether you voted for me or not, I want to be the best MP for the whole of Wellingborough, Rushden and the towns & villages.
Please allow me a small amount of time to set up my office and parliamentary email address.
I am appalled at the behaviour on display on the commons this evening. But I am proud to say in my first week I voted for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, international aid and the recognition of a Palestinian state.
10,505 (13.2%) people have signed the Recall Petition and want change. As the
@UKLabour
candidate for Wellingborough and Rushden I will work hard to be the
#freshstart
that people want. Looking forward to a by-election in the new year.
Today I made my maiden speech in the estimates day debate on Special Educational Needs and Disability funding. This is such an important topic and one that was raised with me a lot on the campaign.
I had the opportunity to take
@RachelReevesMP
around Wellingborough town centre, we discussed with local businesses Labour's plan to bring people back to our high streets and support small businesses.
Thank you so much to all the businesses that took time out of their busiest…

It's been a brilliant first week as Labour's candidate for Wellingborough, Rushden and the villages. I've been out speaking to as many people as possible. One highlight was meeting Mr Lindsay (first picture) who spent 22 years in The Queen's Infantry.
My wonderful team are working on getting everything handed over during the next couple of weeks.
For now, if you need anything, please email wellingborough

It was great to meet Andy on the doorstep yesterday! We're running into lovely, supportive people all the time. He even got one of our beautiful window posters to show his support for our campaign! 🌹
Thank you to
@AFCRD
for a fab afternoon of football. Although the result was disappointing, we saw a lot of skill on show. Clubs like Rushden Diamonds do so much for community and it was great to hear about their academy - what an asset
Looking forward to supporting you again!
It wasn’t AFC Rushden & Diamonds’ day against Gresley but Labour candidate Gen Kitchen tells us Diamonds 💎 deserved much better than 0-3.
She presented the MotM award to Miguel Ngwa at Hayden Road this afternoon and spoke to
@AFCRD
TV afterwards.
I’m getting a lot of DMs and I can’t promise to always be able to reply!
If you want to get in touch, it’s better to send me an email and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Wellingborough

Attended the cenotaph in Wellingborough earlier for the two-minute silence. I had a quiet moment after the ceremony to pay my respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe.
I am delighted that my friend and now colleague
@Dalwahabi
has been elected! I am looking forward to working with you, I know how hard you have worked for it.
This past week, I've been out and about every day, meeting as many people as possible. If you see me, please stop and say 'hello'! A personal highlight was getting to take my friend's dog Hector out with me last weekend.
A maiden speech is where you pay tribute to your predecessor and give the house a flavour of your constituency, and what you may work towards.
I was able to highlight lots of charities and businesses, but would liked to have highlighted many more.
Thank you to

Yeah it's gonna be tough and a lot of work! You don't get an 18% swing by sitting at home. Come Jan 3rd we are doing 3 door knocks a day like we did pre -Xmas! I'm looking at extra warm coats with the blizzard forecast 🥶

Would love to come, I think there will be an email in your inbox on Monday arranging it all. Also I have worked in charities since 2017 so would love to chat about that too!
I really hope the brave staff that came forward are getting the help and support they need. It's shameful to know that it took this long to come to light.
Six week suspension.. triggers recall.
IEP: Peter Bone MP “committed many varied acts of bullying and one act of sexual misconduct” against a member of his staff in 2012 and 2013. It has recommended that he is suspended from the House for six weeks

Gosh you should write headlines! Why didn't the campaign come up with that! The cleverest pub we had was throwing the kitchen sink at the campaign.

Interestingly Chap3 of Isiah describes how corrupt leadership brought about the collapse of the social condition of Jerusalem. Avery apt way of describing the current Tory party. Remind me what reports and committee findings came out recently?

Hi Sam I have two jobs that are open for applications, I am trying to do a full and transparent recruitment process. But thank you so much for your interest!
A brilliant reception from residents in Queensway ward today. As my old CLP, Wellingborough and Rushden is very close to my heart and it's great to see activists so fired up!
We went out to share Kelly's ambitions for the area and met so many Labour voters!

I have one lent part time caseworker, then the the junior roles closed today. The senior caseworker is working their notice in their current role. I couldn't with good conscience take some one on for two weeks and for them not get paid if there is a general election called today.

Also if you are going through ticket master you are going to have to create accounts for each country as your UK/US account isn't global each country has a local one.

Good old M&S from a couple of years ago- can't fault it! Although now with the weather barely above 5 degrees the puffer jacket had to make an appearance!

Essentially the boundary reviews merged two constituencies into one big one ish, so two sitting labour MPs had to go for it. Ali a Keir Starmer backing lab first MP and Mick an SCG. It shows Wirral/Birkenhead area of Liverpool not such a big stronghold.
