Today we mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day 🇬🇧

My office was honoured to lay a wreath at the Old Town commemoration event this morning to express our deep gratitude for the immense sacrifice made by our Armed Forces during World War II.

We must never forget them.

1 year on from the 2024 General Election residents in Stevenage, Knebworth, Codicote, Datchworth and Aston voted for change - a lot has happened 🗳️

I was elected on a manifesto of policy pledges to make your life better after 14 years of chaotic Conservative rule.
