I’ve been campaigning hard on our broken SEND system locally and nationally. But there’s further to go, and I want your experiences to be at the heart of our reforms. That’s why I’m holding two local SEND forums to hear your views on what’s not working, and how to fix it 👇

Great to visit @GHHospice’s revamped Hitchin store to speak to the team about how important their shops are to supporting the Hospice’s work. Well worth popping in to grab some great bargains and support an important cause, I picked up a great refurbished bookcase! 📚

Delivering a pay rise for our police 📈. Our police work tirelessly to keep us safe. So it is welcome news that they will be getting a real terms pay increase this year, alongside £120m in extra funding from the Government to support forces with the cost.

Great to pay a visit to see Dan Gaze to discuss the work he does across Herts and Beds supporting young people. I know from local schools and families what an impact his work has, looking forward to working with Dan to see how we can do even more for young people🤝
