Working hard for Lincoln
Join the campaign.
I’m Labour’s MP for Lincoln. I used to be part of Britain’s Foreign Office, leading teams like the Terorrism Response Team, working to respond to terrorist attacks and kidnaps of British people overseas. I am now honoured to be serving you, the people of Lincoln, Waddington, Bracebridge Heath and Skellingthorpe.
I am also honoured to be serving as the Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, as part of a strong Labour Government, ready to make tough choices to ensure after 14 years of Tory Chaos, Britain and Lincoln will prosper again.
Every week I hear from people concerned about our NHS: about waiting more than 30 hours for an ambulance, overstretched staff in A&E, and the struggle to get appointments. I am absolutely committed to improving this; focusing on bringing in investment, keeping doctors and nurses in the city after they graduate, and delivering Labour’s ambitious plans for more staff, scanners and appointments.
In Lincoln, Bracebridge Heath, Waddington and Skellingthorpe working people are struggling. Wages are 10% lower than the national average, and have declined in real terms since 2010. We’re a young, dynamic city with high tech strengths, deep history, and rich heritage. It doesn’t need to be like this. My priority is to get wages rising through high tech, green jobs, investment in Lincoln’s existing strengths, and giving young people the work and housing they want to stay and help build an even brighter future for the city.
I was honoured to be elected as Lincoln’s new Labour MP in July’s General Election. I want to thank the people of Lincoln for their trust and their time, whether they voted for me or not.
The new Labour Government will deliver change. I will fight every day for a more prosperous, fairer, and safer Lincoln, a revived NHS, and a stronger Britain in the world.
I am here to serve you, and I will never forget who I serve: you and this beautiful city on a hill. I’ve already done as I promised, and the Tory plan for Scampton has been scrapped by the new Labour Government.
We will fix Britain’s foundations. We have inherited a £22billion blackhole, but we are determined to make our country fit for the future. We will put the country back in the service of working people, and deliver national security and economic stability.
I look forward to working every day for our city and country. You will always be at the heart of my work, and in the forefront of my mind.
