The local Labour party would like to offer a gentle clarification.
Some community events here have recently chosen not to allow the MP to attend or have a stand, describing this as “avoiding politics”. We fully respect the intentions behind that, but it’s important to recognise that blocking an elected representative is itself a political act. It introduces a form of bias, even when that isn’t what anyone intended.
At the same time, many community organisations may not realise that the MP is genuinely open to meeting anyone — supporters, critics, and those who simply want to raise an issue or share a concern. Engagement is available to all, and conversations are often far more constructive than people expect.
For anyone who wishes to get in touch directly, the MP can be contacted at:
📧 [email protected]
📮 House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA
(Email is the quickest way to arrange a meeting or raise a concern.)
Community events thrive when they create space for dialogue rather than limit it. Allowing residents to speak directly to their representative isn’t about party politics; it’s about fairness, openness, and making sure people can raise the matters that affect their lives. A more welcoming approach benefits everyone.
