So proud to be elected to represent this wonderful City. Thank you #Chelmsford and my amazing team #GE2017
My thoughts are with His Majesty.
So very brave of King Charles to tell the world about his diagnosis. I have no doubt that this will help others with cancer, and lead to greater understanding.
As ever, our King puts others before himself.
Wishing him a full recovery.

Great to hear from the

Those who attend school regularly do MUCH better than those who don’t.
Looking forward to 2nd reading of my School Attendance Bill on Fri & supporting missing children back to school.

This is a really important step which I hope will help us better understand & improve the educational experience for children and young people with Down's Syndrome.

RT by @vickyford: We are driving up standards in our schools.
Under the Conservatives 89% of schools are rated good or outstanding; under Labour, that number was down at 68%.
We have a plan to give children across the country a world-class education. Labour would take us back to square one.
