It’s been a rollercoaster week for me down in Westminster. As well as dealing with the mountain of post and the avalanche of emails in my inbox, I was fortunate enough to make my maiden speech to the House of Commons Chamber on Wednesday evening. Some of you may have already seen my appearance, but if you haven’t, it’s available again on my YouTube channel.

If you’re not already a subscriber, why not sign up? It only takes a couple of clicks and keeps constituents like you up-to-date with what I’ve been up to!
