This is an incredible achievement. Alistair Strathern has worked so hard listening and speaking to voters across Hitchin, and will be an amazing local voice. Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard on the campaign, and to every voter in Hitchin who put their trust in #Labour

An absolute privilege to now have the opportunity to repay the trust the towns and villages across our Hitchin constituency have placed in me. Whether you voted for me or not this time, I’ll be working day in day out to deliver for all of us.

My government will serve you. Politics can be a force for good. The work of change begins today.

Coffee drop in tomorrow! I will be in Stotfold tomorrow from 10am to 11am at the Box of Cakes. Pop along to talk with me about any issues, or concerns you might have.
