About Rachel

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

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.

Our Labour Government is turning the page on years of decline – taking action to tackle the cost of living, restore pride in our places, and open up opportunity for our young people.

Good growth in every postcode and hope in every heart. That’s our mission and I’m proud to work with this Labour Government to deliver it.
