Welcome to my website.

PLEASE NOTE:  This website is currently undergoing refurbishment and will be re-launched soon.  Feel free to have a browse but remember some of the items are awaiting updating!

Its purpose is to provide you with an introduction to me and my work as an MP.  I have had over 23 successful years working for Labour and my constituents, and remain active locally, in Parliament and internationally.

I am an elected member of the UK Parliament.  I live in my Leyton and Wanstead constituency and care about bringing advances for my community. 

 

I have an extensive workload, embracing a range of activities, such as:

• representing the people of Leyton and Wanstead in Parliament
• listening to local people and acting upon their comments and concerns
• sustaining the Labour Government and encouraging it to be more radical and progressive
• examining and scrutinising government legislation and holding the Executive to account. I am a member of the House of Commons Work & Pensions Select Committee

• influencing government policy
