It's been great getting out across the constituency. And even better seeing so many islanders and tourists alike doing the same, enjoying the wealth of attractions, events, and beaches we have to offer.

Here's some highlights from last week.

The election reshaped the future of our country and the future of our Island.

For fourteen years, the last Conservative government has failed us and the Island has been underfunded and ignored by Westminster. 

It used to be a sufficient challenge to ask, “Name one thing that has improved under this government,” but now the challenge is to name one thing that hasn’t got worse. From the cost-of-living crisis to the lack of housing; from the NHS to our creaking public services, the Conservative government has failed and failed again.

The Labour Party, is be a mission-led government, and what matters to me is making those missions work for our Island:

  • Levelling up through improved and cheaper ferry services.

  • Using the talents we already have to create more green jobs.

  • Ensuring all Islanders have the chance of a front door they can call their own.

  • Supporting an NHS that works for our community.

  • Backing our police to make us feel safe again.

Learn more about my missions for the Island.

As your MP my job is to champion the Island in Westminster.

“I love the Island, not just because it’s where I grew up, but because, as we all know, it’s a unique and special place to be.

The decline over the last 14 years has been keenly felt here, with over £90m of Isle of Wight council funding removed by this government. 

Over the last year I’ve got to know Richard and he shares my passion for the Island. We need a strong voice in Westminster and Richard is that voice.”
