Having served as the MP for Luton South between 2019 and 2024, it’s a privilege to be elected to represent the new constituency of Luton South & South Bedfordshire in Parliament.

Bedfordshire is my county, and Luton is my home. I was born in the Luton & Dunstable hospital and have lived in Luton almost all my life. I’m proud of our area and all our communities, whether they be urban or rural.

Throughout my life I have always been guided by a commitment to public service. Before entering Parliament, I was a senior manager in the public sector and a local councillor for nine years. I will always be a voice for all of our communities from the House of Commons green benches.

After 14 years of the Conservatives, people are worse off, and nothing works anymore. Our new ambitious Labour Government is ready to turn the page on decline and despair. Our priority will be wealth creation to make the country better off. We’ll get to work on our first steps including restoring economic stability and cutting NHS waiting lists. And we will break with recent years by putting country before party every time.

Together, we can deliver our mission of national renewal and change.
