There’s been lots of amazing maiden speeches but this is extra special to me. @JoshBabarinde I can’t find the words to express how I’m feeling … but I’m smiling with tears! 🥹
An honour to give my maiden speech as #Eastbourne’s MP, where I: 👶👶Called on the Government to scrap the two-child benefit cap 👦🏾🧓🏻Shared my family’s story of why Eastbourne is the most compassionate place there is. 🏖️Competed with Nigel Farage on the size of our piers…😂
