🏫🔧 Rebuilding Our Schools for a Stronger Essex Essex County Council is receiving an additional £4 million to tackle RAAC-related issues from central government 🌹.

In the eleven years since her boys were tragically killed by their father, Claire Throssell has fought tirelessly to make sure no other child faces the same danger. We’re taking action to protect children from abusive parents. For Jack. For Paul. For every child.

Backbench or frontbench, elected office is not about us, but our chance to change the lives of others for the better. From wherever I sit on these benches, I will fight with everything I have to do exactly that.

I'm so grateful to Keir Starmer for meeting with my constituent, the formidable @ClaireThrossell to deliver her promise to ensure her boys’ voices are heard by repealing presumption of contact. His message is clear: the safety of children must be at heart of our family courts.

I am appalled at the release in error at HMP Chelmsford. We are urgently working with the police to track him down and I’ve ordered an urgent investigation. Kebatu must be deported for his crimes, not on our streets.
